Undergraduate students are required to declare a concentration by their fourth semester at Brown. Students wishing to declare a concentration in BEO should take the following steps:
- Decide on one of the three BEO Tracks: BEO Economics, BEO Organizational Studies or BEO Entrepreneurship & Technology Management. The three tables below provide a quick reference for recommendations on when to take BEO courses. Refer to each BEO Concentration Track page for detailed course requirements.
- Begin your BEO Concentration Declaration in ASK – (ASK tutorials)
- BEO requires that your Course Plan in ASK include all of the courses you will need to meet the BEO requirements.
- Update your course plan each semester so that it is an accurate reflection of your course progress toward the BEO concentration.
- Meet with your BEO Faculty Track Advisor and BEO Concentrations Advisors early and often.
