<p>So, I need a little more information. Is it feasable to double major in economics and mathematics? Also, is it possible to get good jobs without graduate work in amth or economics? I want to go to Chicago, but I'll be exiting with $20000 in students loans, so grad school might not be an option immediately. Thanks so much!</p>
<p>Chicago has a special math major which is "Mathematics with Specialization in Economics." Due to the mathematical rigor of the deparment, a lot of econ majors fulfill the requirements for both of these. In terms of jobs, The number one destination for graduates of the college - that is, graduates of the entire college (including english, sociology, etc. majors) - was JP Morgan. So yeah, plenty of jobs too. </p>
<p>P.S.: Again, congrats on the full-ride at UMD! (I'm from Rockville, so I know how prestigious it is!)</p>
<p>Is is really? I didnt think it was that special, other than the obvious financial implications. But thanks for the detailed information!</p>
<p>go to Uchicago.</p>
<p>it's worth it</p>
<p>Have You Ever Heard Of Getting A Job To Pay For Your Education?</p>
<p>Got one. Already using all my income.</p>

<p>Anyone else care to ring in?</p>
<p>It might depend on what your other options are....
but it probably doesn't :P. UChicago is the way to go!</p>

Lol, I'll send my messenger over for some earth and water.</p>
<p>$20000 after-college debt is actually quite decent, especially for an econ major/minor- and if you want to go for business school, you'll need a few years of work experience anyway. Getting good work straight out of Chicago won't be a problem as long as you want it-go Chicago!</p>
<p>My other option is a full-ride to The University of MAryland. I've narrowed it down to there and Chicago.</p>
<p>With this double-major you will have employment options open for you upon graduation (from UC) that will not be available if you go to U Maryland (e.g. 100K+/yr financial jobs in NY). You can always take a job like that and pay your loan out in half a year.</p>
<p>20K difference (for 4 years) is very small price to pay for going to UC, especially with your intended major.</p>
<p>Yea. Is it hard to double major in math and econ?</p>
<p>It's not difficult, and there are also special programs for this combination such as Math with Specialization in Economics, as Felipe mentioned, and MATH-STAT-ECON.</p>
<p>u of c is an investment, even if you can't go to grad school right after college you'll still pay of your loans quicker than other students that have $20,000 loan</p>
