[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an IR major at WM. She is required to take 5 Econ classes to get an IR degree: macro, micro, intermediate and advanced macro OR intro and advanced micro and comparative econ. Plus, research methods is also required. The Econ classes, in turn, have required a semester of stats, and she also ended up retaking Calc to help with the advanced Econ. And somewhere in there a semester of data science, which was helpful, but not required. This isn’t to minor in Econ or get a leg up. In fact, her second major is a Critical foreign language. This is just to get a basic IR the degree. So, that’s 8-9 semesters of quant heavy class work for the major. [/quote] That seems like an absolute waste unless she plans to go into political science or some sort of econ/quantitative field. [/quote]
