Economics is a good department. I don’t think that there should be much trouble meeting the 144 hour requirement since there shouldn’t be too much overlap between your courses of study. I would be much more worried about meeting the college requirements for credit earned at UT since you are a late (>beginning junior) transfer student. If you find that you are shy of 144 hours, you can always take some more upper division courses in RTF or electives elsewhere.

I have mixed feeling about RTF. I’ve known several people who are currently on that track or have done that track in Austin. You don’t really get too much experience the first few couple of years. Instead you learn about the history of film and take some other general courses. I am not sure it is wise choose to pursue RTF as a transfer student simply because of all of the lower division requirements which are not hands on. I personally would wait until graduate school, but I suppose the choice depends on what you aspect of RTF you are interested in and your career choice.

Good luck!
