In my opinion, it depends on the disparity in the course descriptions. I’ve seen some wide disparities in descriptions across colleges in which the differences would seem apparent even to non-economists. I’m not suggesting that that’s fully the case here. It does appear, however, that, based on prerequisites, Hamilton expects its students to attain the above level in econometrics in one course, rather than in a two-course sequence, as at UR. In essence, Hamilton’s Econometrics course appears to cover more material than UR’s Advanced Econometrics course.
