TRANSFER POLICY
- Transferring within AUCA
Students are eligible to apply for a transfer to Economics program after the first successful year of study.泭 However, please note that, in order to transfer within AUCA, students must meet all泭admissions requirements (link to admissions page)泭for the Economics department, and receive permission from both Department Chairs. Admissions exam results from the previous program may be sufficient if exams are comparable between the programs. Otherwise if admission exam scores do not satisfy the requirement of the chosen major, the student must retake the admission exam(s) along with prospective students.
If a student has taken an advanced math course (MAT 131.1 Linear Algebra and Analytic Geometry for Economics OR MAT 132 Mathematics for business and economics I) and received a B- grade or above, the Economics Department may count the grade as an entrance exam score.
The university wide GPA requirement for transfer students is to have a minimum 2.7 GPA.
Although students are not permitted to transfer departments until the second year at AUCA, they are encouraged to start working on proposed major coursework during the second semester of the first year. Students must take Intro to Microeconomic Theory course and receive a grade no lower than a 竄-罈. Students need consult the Financial Aid Office to be aware of any changes in financial aid that may occur if students transfer departments.
All transfers must be initiated prior to the start of the semester.
