<p>Anyone an econ math joint major, or know anything about this?</p>
<p>first off, how hard is the workload? Is it manageable?
i've heard some pretty bad things about the introduction to economic analysis with bisin...can anyone give me on overview and their thoughts for this class and other theory based classes?</p>
<p>Also how does econ theory based compare to econ policy based? (i've read the department overview, but seemed to vague to me)</p>
<p>how useful is this degree? any other information about it would be great</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>How I've heard it described: econ theory is more quantitative, and geared more towards people looking at grad school. Econ policy is not.</p>
<p>I wish I'd done econ theory :(</p>
<p>no experience but I think that my son is going to be doing that this fall. He 'declared' math as his major at Cas, but I know he wants to do some econ too, not sure that he would try a double major.</p>
<p>youkosiren, why do you wish you'd done econ theory? Are job opportunities /prospects worser for econ policy majors?</p>
<p>Not at all. Econ theory's just a little bit better if there's any chance of you wanting to go to grad school because the curriculum is more quantitative.</p>
<p>youkosiren, i've recognized how much you regret not having continues econ theory. u suggest that strongly, but is it a separate major? at CAS or Stern?</p>
<p>well, I recommend doing the econ theory major IF you think you might want to go on and do a masters or PhD (NOT an MBA) because the curriculum is pretty much geared towards prepping you to do that. If you just want to work right after graduation and get an MBA, econ policy is more than adequate. The econ depts at Stern and CAS both offer the two econ major tracks, econ theory and econ policy, so the two tracks shouldn't look the same when put on your diploma, if that's what you're worried about.</p>
<p>haha... you guessed right! ;) I was thinking of my diploma. Thanks for the response.</p>
