<p>Can I ask two simple questions?</p>
<p>What is the highest math level course you've done so far? (Not including current course)
Have you completed Micro and Macroeconomics?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>What is the purpose of this? Are you doing a survey?</p>
<p>I aint Economics major but I was interested at some point before and can still remember that most schools require Microeconomics, Macroecoomics, Statistics and PreCalculus (at least - and only for admission purpose, won’t actually count). Business majors surely require more advanced level of math.</p>
<p>I’m taking finite math, done with Macro, in process of completing Micro.</p>
<p>Taking Calc I along with Micro this semester.</p>
<p>Sophomore – took calc (full yr) as Freshman, taking stat requiring calc as prereq now, Took Macro and micro LY (double major, poly sci/econ)</p>
<p>I am freshman, and I’ve taken micro and calc II during 1st semester. Now, I am taking Calc III, macro, and Stat. But I also intend to add a business major.</p>
<p>I took macro and business calc 1 in my first quarter, in the process of completing micro and business calc 2 and will be taking money and banking and stats in my spring quarter.</p>
<p>Thanks guys!</p>
<p>I am taking Cal1 and microecon this semester. I asked this weired question because I was wondering if I am way behind on becoming a competitive applicant since my highest math level is Cal1. I am applying to U-M, NYU and UNC. Some guy who I met from the other online college transfer community discourged me by saying that I have a slim chance to accept to these selective schools since my highest math level is Cal1 and I haven’t completed microecon. He (or she) also said that he never saw any applicants of those schools who haven’t completed at least Cal2.</p>
<p>I have a competitive GPA and strong essays along with work experience on a leadership position for 2 years and other EC activities. But I am worried if the facts that my major-related courses are still in process and cal1 is my highest math level courss would affect my transfer chances. I took statistics though…</p>
<p>any opinions?</p>
<p>Look on their websites and try to find their economics curriculum. I know some schools have all the courses that you will need to take for each year on their websites. Usually the schools want you to be at the same level as the students at their school.</p>
<p>I took calc 1 and microecon this term. At my school most kids don’t take micro till sophomore year.</p>
<p>It’s probably best to have macro, micro, calc 1, and calc 2 completed upon transferring if you are an intended econ major.</p>
<p>Check the schools you are trying to transfer to for any specific requirements.</p>
<p>Introductory economics (micro and macro), a year of calculus, and a calculus-based statistics course are likely the minimum freshman and sophomore requirements for any economics major. More math, like multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations, should help if you intend to go into more mathematical areas of economics.</p>
<p>I’m ready to transfer. I’ve taken, micro & macro, financial and managerial accounting along with Stats and Calc 1.</p>
<p>Principles of Economics
Principles of Microeconomics
Principles of Macroeconomics
Intermediate Macroeconomics
Calculus 1</p>
<p>-finance major, declaring econ as a minor</p>
<p>If I’m transferring as a freshman, declaring as an econ major and I only have micro and macro would it hurt my transfer chances? If so should I change my major to business?</p>
<p>Generally, if you’re transferring schools will want to see what @ucbalumnus stated.
This is the basic prerequisites for economic majors along with even some business majors. You might have an additional class such as Intro to Business if you plan on majoring in Business Administration. I would suggest not to take upper-level econ courses because when you transfer these are the classes you will be taking.</p>
