Economics-major, Introverted, picky - looking for intellectual safeties

<p>Maryland’s economics department appears to emphasize math in economics. The intermediate microeconomics course (ECON 326) has math prerequisites of calculus 3 and linear algebra, or an economics course covering those math topics for application to economics (ECON 300).

<p>UCLA offers a math / economics major, but the economics courses do not appear to be especially math-intensive, except for a few topical electives (inequality, mathematical finance, probabilistic microeconomics), although graduate level courses are available.

<p>Wisconsin is similar to UCLA in offering a math option to the economics major. It does offer a less math and more math version of intermediate microeconomics, but the more math version lists only calculus 2 as the math prerequisite.
