<p>The title says it all. Math is my worst subject by far, I can't stand it and it bores me. My concern here is how much math I need to complete for my major, economics. I could take Calc l and be done with it. But, if I want to go to grad school, I will need at least calc 2 from what I understand. Should I change my major to finance or accounting now before its too late?</p>
<p>depending on some schools the math is not extensive in undergraduate. If you want to continue towards graduate school you need to take at least calc 1,2, and 3 maybe some real analysis. The math level is a lot harder in graduate school and it really depends on if you really want to do with your life. Do you want a PhD? or Do you want An MBA?</p>
<p>No. Once you get into the 300 and 400 level econ classes it is almost exclusively calculus. At least that is the case here, I am sure some colleges may have an easier program.</p>
<p>YOu can usually go two ways - one through the Business school with lots of math, or one through liberal arts … without as much math.</p>
<p>i have taken any thing past the theory classes. We are not required to take upper level math courses but most people in my major have an extensive math background. I am doubling in Econ/Math so it helps when talking about the derivatives of the curves and deriving the equations etc.</p>
<p>Here is a good list of the math courses you will need for graduate school in economics from Greg Mankiw, Harvard economist.</p>

<p>You’ll need much, much more than second semester calculus.</p>
<p>Here is a similar list from the economics department at Wellesley: [Economics</a> Department -Related Courses](<a href=“http://www.wellesley.edu/Economics/Courses/related.html]Economics”>http://www.wellesley.edu/Economics/Courses/related.html)</p>
<p>They are are suggesting different paths depending on the goal of the student - ranging from “minimum requirement for the major” to “typical math background of recent applicants admitted to the top 5 Ph.D programs in economics.” Worth a look!</p>
