<p>How difficult are the Econ Majors as well as the Communications Majors at UWMadison? Are they a safe alternative if you are not accepted to the business school?</p>
<p>Comm Arts-advertising/PR is a good track for business. Econ is harder than comm.</p>
<p>Are both econ options very rigorous - the math based option seems a lot more difficult than the business based route.</p>
<p>Just got my UW "On Wisconsin" alumni magazine yesterday- one article spotlighted those who worked for the Federal Reserve- mostly econ majors...</p>
