Economics at Columbia College: what LionPlan checks

LionPlan is an unofficial student project. It is a companion to Stellic and Vergil, not a replacement, and it does not replace CSA advising. This page is live for Columbia College.

Tell us your school, your major, and what you have taken. A course card then shows what a class satisfies (“Satisfies Probability / Statistics”) and what it unlocks (“Opens up 7 more courses”), plus the section time and instructor rating.

The groups below are the ones LionPlan actually checks for this program. They were transcribed from the 2026-2027 Bulletin. Confirm them with your school before you register.

  1. Economics Core

    All of these

    All of these: ECON UN1105, ECON UN3211, ECON UN3213, ECON UN3412.

    All four. The department requires these to be taken at Columbia and finished by the spring of junior year. Only ECON UN1105 may be taken Pass/D/Fail, and only with a grade of P.

  2. Mathematics

    One sequence

    One sequence: Calculus I and Calculus III (MATH UN1101, MATH UN1201), or Calculus I and Accelerated Multivariable Calculus (MATH UN1101, MATH UN1205), or Honors Mathematics A and B (MATH UN1207, MATH UN1208).

    One complete sequence, both terms of whichever you pick. Consult the Mathematics Department for placement.

  3. Statistics

    Choose N

    Choose 1 of: STAT UN1201, STAT GU4204, STAT GU4001.

    STAT UN1201, or a higher-level course. The Bulletin gives STAT GU4204 and STAT GU4001 as examples rather than as the whole list, so another higher-level statistics course may also count and will not be matched here. Take it before Econometrics.

  4. Economics Electives

    N matching

    5 courses matching ECON courses, numbered 2000 to 9999, excluding ECON UN1105, ECON UN3211, ECON UN3213, ECON UN3412, ECON GU4911, ECON GU4913, ECON GU4918, ECON BC2411, ECON BC3018, ECON BC3033, ECON BC3035, ECON BC3135, ECON BC3063.

    At least five. No more than one may be at the 2000 level, including Barnard courses — a limit this audit does not enforce, so check it yourself. Seminars are not electives, and neither are Barnard's core economics, mathematics or statistics courses; both are excluded here.

  5. Economics Seminar

    Attested

    You confirm this yourself. One seminar from the department's eligible-seminar list for your major, published per year on the Senior Seminars page. Seminars may be taken only after all core courses are complete. The department's own seminar numbers include ECON GU4911, ECON GU4913 and ECON GU4918, plus ECPS GU4921 and ECPH GU4950 for the interdepartmental majors, but eligibility is set per major per year and cannot be read off a course number.
