[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College masters program websites may tell you exactly how much econ is expected. Some might even have a pre-masters program for taking those courses - masters programs are cash cows for the university.[/quote]

Good idea, thank you from OP. Maybe she can do the pre-masters classes at night.

DD has strong aptitude in math, but has never liked nor done well in economics (she took intro and macro in college, they were probably her two worst grades- but she took thru MV calculus in high school and scored 800 on the math portion of the SAT). She would do this to have a grounding in economics to be a stronger candidate for policy jobs. [/quote]

An undergraduate econ major is likely to require intro to micro and macro and intermediate micro and macro. Intro to micro and macro are likely to be algebra based. Intermediate micro and macro are going to be calculus based. A master's program would likely require advanced micro and macro, also calculus based (expecting the intermediate micro/macro foundation from undergraduate). An econ major is also likely to have a required statistics course or so (either general or tailored to social sciences). These days I'm also guessing some data science/analysis coursework, either required or strongly encouraged.[/quote]
