Hi
I want to specifically know about the academic rigor of the economics program at Ivan Allen college in gtech. Compared to the top economics courses, what is the level of math that the econ course engages? Is it a good school in teems of job recruitment quality?
Georgia Tech’s course catalog lists no math prerequisites for intermediate microeconomics.

The syllabus does say that “While there is no calculus prerequisite for this class, you should be aware some calculus tools will be used during the semester (primarily ordinary and partial derivatives).”

This is less math-oriented than typical, where a semester or year of frosh calculus is the usual prerequisite for intermediate microeconomics. Some schools (e.g. MIT, Chicago, CMU, Stanford) list more advanced math (e.g. multivariable calculus) as a prerequisite for intermediate microeconomics, and some others (e.g. Harvard, Yale, Berkeley) offer a higher math version of this nature and a lower math version that just uses frosh calculus.
