<p>I'm an Economics Major at Wagner College. The economics program at Wagner is not very math intensive, but I took it upon myself to take extra math courses. By the time I graduate I'll have taken calc 1-3, advanced calc, linear algebra, discrete math and maybe differential equations (also intro to programming if it matters, and applied econometrics/business stats as part of the econ major.)
Lately I have been thinking of applying to a M.S. program in Math or applied math (financial math), but i'm not sure I have enough math pre-reqs to get in.
So to get to my question, i'm not asking my chances of being accepted to a M.S. program in math, rather what I should do to increase math knowledge before applying. I was thinking I could either
1.) take more math classes after I graduate.
2.) just apply to M.S. programs and hope they admit me on the basis that I have to take certain classes prior to starting
or
3.) I was wondering if getting a M.A. in economics and taking as many econometrics/statistic classes as I can would be a good bridge to an M.S. in math or applied math. (the biggest problem with this option is that two masters degrees is expensive and during the time it took me to get 2 masters I could be pretty far through a phd program, which could be funded. But I would still consider it.)</p>
<p>Thanks for any feedback.</p>
