<p>Does it make sense to get simultaneous degrees in economics and business administration? I like the mathematical aspect of economics but also interested in the more business oriented classes like marketing, accounting, and finance.</p>
<p>Do it if you are genuinely interested. Don’t do it just to impress employers/grad or professional schools because it won’t.</p>
<p>Perhaps some business majors can say whether business courses have space for non-majors these days. If so, then perhaps you can do economics (possibly with a second major or minor in math or statistics) while also taking selected business courses of interest (note that the economics department does have finance courses – 136 and 138).</p>
<p>What mathematical aspect of Econ specifically? The word “marginal”? If you’re interested in business and want a more quant experience in college,Aubrey you should consider doubling in Econ/math or /stats, or biz/math or /stats. Or whatever you’re really interested in or passionate about. Biz/Econ is only ~5 or so classes extra, so… Meh. But tons of people do it for the convenience/out of the high school mentality, not necessarily for the right reasons demoz mentions.</p>
<p>Alternatively, there’s no shame in having “related coursework” and just take math-friendly courses to complement your biz major</p>
