Is Mathecon a good major?

<p>This is a question from my friend; he doesn't have a CC account nor knows how to use this forum, so he told me to ask her for him.
(I already applied to few schools as Business major)</p>

<p>Based on what I've seen and what he told me,
he's good at math. Got A's in all math classes he took so far (it's only up to Calculus 2 though), and in general, he is an intelligent guy.</p>

<p>He's somewhat interested in Economics; he thinks that having a more math experience will enhance his opportunity in the future. </p>

<p>So instead of applying as a Bizecon/econ major, he's thinking about applying to a Mathecon major.</p>

<p>(Also, he wants to go to UCLA, but his GPA is too low for Bizecon/econ.)</p>

<p>He wants to know, in general, is Mathecon a good major in terms of post-graduate opportunities or is it better to major in just Economics? Is Mathecon a good major compare to related majors such as Economics/Busecon/Bus/etc.?</p>

<p>It depends on what he wants to do, but in general, mathecon is a solid major. I would advise him to round out his education by taking 1-2 accounting, 1-2 finance, and perhaps one business law course.</p>
