Economics Graduate School

Graduate School

<p>Hi CC,</p>

<p>I am an economics major and math minor at UConn, seeking for advice about how to prepare for an economics masters program.</p>

<p>What I know:
The more math, the better. I more mathematics economics courses, the better. The more research, the better. </p>

<p>What I don't know:
Up to how much math courses will be fine, and still keep me relatively competitive. Are internships really necessary for those interested in economics graduate school - is it needed? </p>

<p>Here are the econ & math courses I am taking and planning on taking (which I think are important):</p>

<p>Mathematical Economics
Emprical Methods in EconomicsI/Economietrics
Calc 1
Calc 2
Linear Alg
Multiv
Diff Eq
(I don't have time for Analysis, unfortunately)</p>

<p>Any advice or previous experience would be much appreciated!</p>

<p>Obviously, you want to translate the course descriptions to courses at your own university. But yes, real analysis is in these lists of recommended math courses for someone heading to graduate school in economics. Upper division statistics courses are also recommended.</p>
