<p>Given the limited math prerequisites in the economics courses, probably as much as at some other colleges.</p>
<p>Actually, it does seem surprising to me that many colleges’ economics departments do not integrate math that well into upper division economics courses. Granted, an economics department may want to keep enrollment up with math-fearing students using economics as a substitute business major, but it does seem odd to not even offer the option of math-intensive intermediate economics courses for students who are considering graduate study in economics. Perhaps the research universities may just be telling students to take graduate level economics courses if they are so interested, but that still leaves the question of why many of the LACs often appear not to have math-intensive upper division economics offerings.</p>
