BOS majors also need to adhere to the following guidelines:
- A mandatory minor or second major is required. Students may declare any minor or major approved for NYUAD students to fulfil the minor or second major requirement. However, a second major or minor in economics or business-related fields will not satisfy the BOS requirement. Students who declare economics as a second major must complete a minor that is not economics or business-related. Students who declare economics as a minor must complete a second minor that is not economics or business-related. Second majors or minors that do not adhere to these exclusions will not be approved.
- BOS will accept ECON-UH 2010 Intermediate Microeconomics as a substitute for Managerial Economics.
- Courses that fulfill the Ethics requirement must have "ethics" in the title.
- Students placing out of Markets via the Economics placement exam must take an additional elective credits to complete the degree.
- Students testing out of Calculus need not replace those credits to complete the major but may require additional credits to meet the 140 credit degree minimum requirement.
- Courses counting as “Social Impact” electives at Stern may be used for one of the course requirements for the Social Impact Electives.
- Students of the Business, Organizations and Society major will have access to a large pool of already existing courses offered by multiple Divisions at NYU Abu Dhabi. Students can also take approved courses at other global sites, notably NYU Stern and NYU Shanghai.
