<p>I was a design major and now I want to change to a business major. Business Administration is not really a bad major, but way WAY too much people have this degree, making it competitive. I don't know much about other business related majors, like accounting, marketing, finance, economics (<some say it is social science and some says business but throw in anyway). Can someone give me an idea, or put in list, of how demanding other biz majors are ? If I missed some biz majors, feel free to correct me. Thanks.</p>

Economics - may be taught either in College of Arts & Science or Business or both. If taught in the College of Business you will have more required general business courses. Can be a math intensive major.</p>
<p>Note that “low demand” doesn’t mean that you can’t find employment but you have to do more to make sure you are employed.</p>
<p>Thanks Chris. The Economics major in my university is offered from College of Business, it is required to take a minor, do a math concentration, or a business concentration. Originally, I am a design major, so I decide to major in Econ, while minor in design (it is 3D modeling and animation to be exact). Will it be an odd combo ? I see people advise minor in math or similar. Also, I heard Economics is really diverse in career path, compare to others like accounting. Accounting makes good money but you will be strictly to so accounting works.</p>
<p>Math is very common because a good number of econ majors are employed doing statistical analysis. I’m not familiar with the options that may be available for an econ major + design minor. If you were at all interested in CS then I’d think a design minor could be helpful for someone interested in human-computer interaction.</p>
