The goal of the economics curriculum is to educate students, both majors and non-majors, about the ideas of economics and how they apply to today’s world.

As an entry point into this area of study, we recommend any of the following courses:

• ECON 150-199. We recommend that most students begin their study of economics at Bates by taking two of these introductory courses, preferably one focused on microeconomics (such as ECO 153) and one focused on macroeconomics (such as ECO 156 or ECO 160). Students who excel in their first introductory course may consider moving directly to ECO 260 or ECO 270 without taking a second introductory course.  Each course introduces students to foundational economic models and principles with a focus on real world topics and applications. These courses do not count towards the major, but are an important first step for students with no or little prior coursework in economics. (multiple sections offered each semester)
• ECON 250. Statistics. Recommended background: (a) One introductory economics course (ECON 150-199) or prior IB, AP, or A-Levels economics coursework, and (b) strong algebraic skills, comfort manipulating equations, and the ability to interpret graphs. Students without a strong background in these skills may benefit from taking MATH 101 prior to taking this course. (offered every semester)
• ECON 260 or ECON 270. In exceptional cases, students with a strong background in economics may choose to enroll in one of these two intermediate theory courses. These courses require MATH 105, 106, 205, or 206 as a prerequisite and include extensive use of calculus applied to economic theory. These courses are open to, but generally not recommended for, first-semester, first-year students. Please reach out to the chair of the department or the instructor if you are unsure about your preparedness for these courses. (Offered every semester)
• MATH 105. Calculus I (offered every semester)
• MATH 106. Calculus II (offered every semester)

The Combined Plan programs allow students to gain broad exposure to the liberal arts while preparing for a degree in engineering. Under the programs, students spend 3 years at Bates pursuing liberal arts and certain pre-engineering courses, and then continue their studies at an engineering school for 2 years. Five schools — Case Western, Columbia, Dartmouth, RPI, and Washington University — are affiliated with Bates for combined plan study.

At the end of the five year program, 2 bachelors degrees are awarded, one by the engineering school and another by Bates. Since a firm decision to concentrate in engineering is not required until the junior year, the plans are especially beneficial to students who are interested in, but not yet completely sure about, a career in engineering.

Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field that explores how nervous systems develop, function, and give rise to cognition and behavior. At Bates, students build a strong foundation in biology, chemistry, and quantitative reasoning while studying neuroscience across multiple levels of analysis, from cells and circuits to computation and behavior, through classroom and laboratory experiences. The curriculum also encourages students to consider neuroscience in broader ethical, historical, and societal contexts and to extend their learning through electives across related fields. Students considering the major are encouraged to begin with foundational courses such as BIO 195 and CHEM 107/108, whether they take Introduction to Neuroscience in their first or second year. The major culminates in a senior capstone experience.

As an entry point into this area of study, we recommend any of the following courses:

• BIO 195. Lab-Based Biological Inquiry (multiple sections each semester, including Fall 2026)
• CHEM 107. Atomic and Molecular Structure/Lab (multiple sections offered every fall, including Fall 2026)
• NRSC 160. Introduction to Neuroscience – this is same course (cross-listed) as PSYC 160 (offered every semester, including Fall 2026, with double the number of sections available in Winter 2027); you should aim to take this course before the end of your second semester of your second (sophomore) year if you intend to major; please don’t fret if you don’t get a spot in your first semester :-) Note that taking Medical Psychology (PSYC 215) prevents later enrollment in Intro to Neuroscience (NRSC/PYSC 160), given the overlap in course content. So, if you are considering the Neuroscience major, plan to take NRSC/PYSC 160 instead of Medical Psychology.

These courses also enable you to complete the general education requirements because they are tagged as (MOI):

• CHEM 107A. Atomic and Molecular Structure/Lab (QF, SR)
