Economics Admission Index (EAI) Courses
- To be admitted to Upper Division Economics, students must complete all of the EAI courses with an EAI GPA of 2.75 or higher, have a C- or higher in all EAI courses, and not be on probation.
- Students also must have a C- or higher in any ECON courses taken prior to upper division.
- A maximum of three EAI courses may be repeated one time each for a grade.
- Previous enrollments in MA 16100/16500 do not count in the EAI GPA if replaced with MA 16010.
- For students who start at Purdue, the EAI must consist of at least ECON 25100 & ECON 25200 or (3) Purdue graded EAI courses.
- The most recent (not best) earned grade will be used to calculate the Economics Admissions Index. Once a letter grade in a course has been earned at Purdue West Lafayette, student cannot use transfer credit for the same course when calculating the EAI. The Purdue West Lafayette letter grade will be used in the EAI calculation.
- The re-take allowances of EAI courses also depends on the number of courses taken at Purdue, and no more than (2) or (3) EAI courses (or their equivalents) may be taken two times each for a grade as follows:
- If 4-5 of the EAI courses are taken at Purdue, then: a maximum of three different EAI courses may be taken two times each for a grade.
- If 2-3 of the EAI courses are taken at Purdue, then: a maximum of two different EAI courses may be taken two times each for a grade.

Critical Course
The ♦ course is considered critical.
In alignment with the Degree Map Guidance for Indiana’s Public Colleges and Universities, published by the Commission for Higher Education (pursuant to HEA 1348-2013), a Critical Course is identified as “one that a student must be able to pass to persist and succeed in a particular major. Students who want to be nurses, for example, should know that they are expected to be proficient in courses like biology in order to be successful. These would be identified by the institutions for each degree program.”
Disclaimer
The student is ultimately responsible for knowing and completing all degree requirements. Consultation with an advisor may result in an altered plan customized for an individual student. The myPurduePlan powered by DegreeWorks is the knowledge source for specific requirements and completion.
Comparative information about Purdue University and other U.S. educational institutions is also available through the College Navigator tool, provided by the National Center for Education Statistics, and through the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard.
