[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which business major? I’m not a fan of General business, management, marketing (especially if lacking math) for undergrad. Accounting and finance can be ok, depending on the school. On the Econ major, depends if the student wants a liberal arts education. And Econ at the top schools is much better than at most schools. Look for programs where calculus is required for the Econ major.[/quote] I desperately wish Econ programs would cement themselves into the liberal arts and prepare their students more towards graduate education than the workforce. I know it’s unrealistic, but most economics graduates do not have anywhere close to enough math. There are a few Econ phd programs that take more applicants from math and physics departments than Econ ones. Linear+Calc 1-3 should be the minimum.[/quote] This is true. In fact, most Econ PhD students at top schools double majored in math and econ. Some even just studied math.[/quote]
