The College Fed Challenge (CFC)

The College Fed Challenge is a team competition for undergraduate students. Teams analyze economic and financial conditions and formulate monetary policy recommendations, modeling the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). With instructor and chair approval, students can participate in the College Fed Challenge course by registering for an independent study (ECO 593). The CFC course can be used towards elective credits at the 200 or 300 level.

Liberal Arts and Sciences Requirement: 

The New York State Department of Education requires that ¾ of the credit hours in a Bachelor of Arts (BA) program be liberal arts and sciences credits.
