<p>I saw on PSU’s website that you only need a 2.0 gpa to transfer into Economics major. Is that true and if it is why is it so low compared to being a business major? </p>

<p>These are the formal requirements for entrance to Economics major:</p>

<p>ENTRANCE-TO-MAJOR REQUIREMENTS</p>

<p>Any student may enter any Liberal Arts major (except Economics and Psychology) provided that the following requirements have been met:

  1. The student must have a 2.00 cumulative grade-point average.
  2. The student must have an average of C (2.00) or better in any courses already taken in the proposed major.
  3. The student must demonstrate the ability to complete total requirements within nine semesters.
  4. The student must have completed 27.1 credits or higher.</p>

<p>Entrance into Economics requires that the above entrance-to-major requirements be met as well as completion of the following with a grade of C or better: ECON 102 and 104.</p>

<p>I’m not sure if the requirements changed when the Economics department moved from the college of Business to the college of Liberal Arts but if there isn’t high demand for a major the entrance requirements will be minimal.</p>
