Alright everyone find out abit more on it. This quote is taken from

[University of Texas alters admission requirements, responds to economic, social changes](http://evergreen.greenhill.org/index.php/news-mainmenu/students/272-university-of-texas-alters-admission-requirements-responds-to-economic-social-changes)

"Under option two, a student wishing to enroll at UT would take an economics course over the summer, most likely at a community college, to fulfill the requirement. The third option being offered by the University will only be available to this year’s applicant pool, and it will allow prospective stu*dents to take an economics class at Texas after enrollment.

Thus far, UT is the only school to officially add such requirements, although others may potentially follow its example."

I guess UT did this because of the bad economy at the moment, and want students to know more about what is happening.

Also taken from [Required HS Courses | Freshmen | Be a Longhorn](http://bealonghorn.utexas.edu/freshmen/admission/hs-courses/index.html)
" Admitted students who are not able to make up for missing requirements before enrolling at UT Austin will be able to do so after enrolling. "

I actually would like to take a course on economics anyways , so its all good I would still write a note or something in resume explaining your situation and that you are willing to make up the credit by taking an economics course at the school.
