<p>Okay so far, I've seen</p>
<p>Economics
Economics: Management Science
Economics: Math and Economics</p>
<p>And honestly, I can't tell much difference between them. They seem to be around the same level of difficulty. They also seem to come out at the same average starting salary. Can anyone help me with this? If you believe one is better than another, could you give a nice explanation why? Thanks! ^__^</p>
<p>Economics-broad and theoretical study of economics
Management science-thorough grounding in economics with additional business focused courses
Math and Economics-thorough grounding in economics with an additional focus on math</p>
<p>mmm, which one is more prestigious (interesting word that I haven't seen "NOT" associated with science). And also, which one is worth it more if I wish to go to a Top MBA Program?</p>
<p>i would like to know more about this as well</p>
<p>which one has the least math ; )</p>
<p>If you want to get a Ph.D. in Economics, or just keep the door wide open, the joint major in econ/math is best.</p>
<p>The least math would be the BA in Economics. The most math would be the BS in Math Economics. The best major to choose depends on your future aspirations. At UCD the Management Science major is called Managerial Economics (BS) and is more difficult to get into than Economics (BA).</p>
<p>uhmmm what about UCSD collegemom?
and as for future, I guess I'm asking which will be best when I go into Business school (probably finance or managerial)</p>
<p>I would go with either the Math Economics for financial or the Managment Science for managerial. The most important thing is to keep your grades up and get internships ASAP. As to UCSD prerequisites go to their web-site and look under each major to see if they have any specific GPA you need to maintain in specific courses to be allowed into the major.</p>
<p>read this too</p>
<p>thanks collegemom, this was really helpful. ^__^;;</p>
<p>You are welcome. What did you decide?</p>
<p>lol, well I'm kind of looking at Joint Math and Eco, but when I go to the site. Out of the 2096 economics students taking economics, management sci, and joint math/eco, only 76 are taking math/eco. Could there be a reason for this? It could either be good because no one wants to take it because it's super hard and it's super prestigious, or it's just bad and hard, and no one really cares o.o;;</p>
<p>I would guess because it is less known about. I think Oyama may be a math economics major there so you might try PM'ing him with your question.</p>
<p>done ^__^;<br>
I'm only choosing between these two economics if I find that 1-2 hours of studying for Electrical Engineering is not enough though for an A.</p>
<p>That makes me smile^ :)</p>
