<p>most econ programs, especially at big schools, do not focus on graduate preparation because so many people dont seek phds in economics. between the three however, i personally believe that the BA is the most worthwhile to people seeking graduate degrees in economics. by graduating from the CLAS you are not required to take the extra req for the business school, and you have more flexibility to focus on things that you want to do. i’m personally hoping to get a minor in german or take higher level calculus classes instead of taking CGS 2531 and the accounting courses.</p>
<p>i’ve spoken to two graduate professors in the economics departments and they both made it very clear that it was a very math intensive course of study.</p>
