<p>I'm a junior econ major looking at future masters programs and courses I'll be taking for the next year and a half.</p>
<p>What classes are generally required for graduate economics programs? (Note: I'm not interested in Phd programs) I've heard that graduate econ program require a high level of math, but haven't found very many specifics. What level of calculus is generally required? What skills are needed?</p>
<p>If you want to go to a top econ grad program you will need real analysis also called advanced calc at some schools. Before you can take this you usually need to finish the calc sequence (through multiple variables) and have linear algebra. Probability and stochastic calculus is also important. This is for US schools so I'm not sure if this applies to you, but all the grad econ classes at my school require real analysis as a prerequisite.</p>
<p>Greg</a> Mankiw's Blog: Advice for Aspiring Economists seems to have some pretty good guidelines.</p>
