disagree  C. Elise Harris (X): If it's Castillian Spanish, the translation should be: in one (academic) year of the economics major (ie: university major). 'un curso' in Spain also means 'an academic year', and 'economia' is economics, not so much business.

  -> Estoy de acuerdo. Economics es la palabra. Por lo del "Course" , claro más contexto aclararía si se refiere a un año académico o a un curso. Gracias por tus observaciones!

in one academic year of a degree in Economics


Explanation:
Estaria mejor si tuviera la frase completa. A veces curso quiere decir año escolar y a veces quiere decir una materia. Por eso me he puesto un nivel medio de confianza.

Si no es un curso escolar, sino una materia, yo diria "course", in a/one course of an Economics degree.

neutral  Marina Meier: ¿Cuándo van a aprender a hacer una pregunta como la gente? A mí me parece que se refiere a una materia. De ser así, ¿cómo lo dirías, Teju?

  -> Tienes mucha razón, se intenta ayudar pero necesitamos más datos. Si fuera una materia, yo diria "course". Gracias por tu comentario Marina - teju
