<p>Pros and Cons?</p>
<p>Math/econ you actually have to take upper-division math classes. </p>
<p>Management Science is not that much different from a regular econ major. You take a few extra math, nothing too serious, and classes in operations research. Math/econ you will be taking some serious math classes like real analysis.</p>
<p>Honestly, I would just do the management science major and do the honors series in microecon, macroecon, and econometrics. You get the extra math but applied to economics. If you interested in taking upper division math courses though, then do math/econ.</p>
<p>For the math/econ, are joint majors basically double major? Right now im really stumped between, econ, math/econ, and management science</p>
<p>^ if you plan to go to grad school, joint math/econ may be the wisest choice</p>
<p>Less classes than a double major. There is probably a policy on how many classes you can overlap if you double major (not certain).</p>
<p>What are your reasons to do math/econ?</p>
<p>Good Reasons to do it:
-going into something quantitative for graduate school, like economics, industrial engineering, MFE
-enjoy taking math classes </p>
<p>Reasons not to do it: sounds impressive</p>
<p>Personally, I would just do economics/management science + the accounting or computer science minor.</p>
<p>Just because I put accounting and computer science skills above taking extra math classes. </p>
<p>But if you like math, then go for it.</p>
<p>what do you guys think about just taking econ ?</p>
<p>^
Nothing is wrong with that.</p>
<p>I am sure that setting yourself apart by just what your major is not the most important thing. Employers will see econ, management science, or math/econ on your resume and move on. As long as it is something biz-related and you have a nice GPA you are good on that section.</p>
<p>You should try to set yourself on getting good work experience, good leadership experience, and interesting extracurricular. Also while you are at the school, network your butt off. Go to every single career fair, join the major business clubs and be actively involved with it, go to any informational meetings about the firms you are interested in, go on firm tours, get to know the people of the firm, and etc.</p>
<p>That is what will get your the job. Not choosing between econ/management science/ math/econ.</p>
<p>Just choose something that fits your interest and what you think you could exceed at.</p>
<p>@ itransfer. I really like your advice. Ill take to it heart. I guess more mathematics can’t hurt. :D</p>
