<p>And taking intermediate micro theory is a good idea. Elective classes like international trade, game theory, labor, public finance, etc etc usually have it as a prereq.</p>
<p>A math minor? I considered that. I always heard minors weren’t that good but would be very doable however. Now just to find a major that I can do in 2 years to compliment or just have. Im not sure what though</p>
<p>Magneto, checking the course webpage for the ‘abstract algebra’ course, that class actually looks like a linear algebra class, but taught in a little more abstract way than a first class in linear algebra. I’d strongly suggest taking that. </p>
<p>It’ll not only be a good exercise in reasoning, but what you’ll learn in the class will be incredibly useful. Linear algebra is everywhere in the sciences.</p>
<p>so right now (before I talk to the Econ department) my schedule is this:</p>
<p>Principles of Macroeconomics (MWF 2 - 2:50 pm)
Economic Behavior and Psychology (econ elective) (MWF 12:30 - 1:45pm)
Intermediate Spanish (for Spanish minor/enjoyment) (MWF 11:30 - 12:20 pm)
Personal Medicine (sounds fun, could change) (TTh 2:45 - 4pm)</p>
<p>and based on the math classes that are available:</p>
<p>Fundamentals of Abstract Algebra 1 (MWF 9:30 - 10:20 am) (hating the time)
Fundamentals of Analysis 1 (MWF 12:30 - 1:45)
Introduction to Scientific Computing (TTh 2:45 - 4pm)</p>
<p>and I was really considering taking an acting class which would be TTh 1:15 - 2:30pm</p>
<p>now what do you guys think (you guys are my temporary advisers until I get a response from the econ department)</p>
<p>if i were in your position, a rising senior who’s changing majors, i would only take classes related to my major(s) so as to expedite the graduation process… but take what you want to take, i guess</p>
<p>I would switch out econ behavior and psych for intermediate micro and take analysis in that time slot. Next semester you can take algebra and that should put you close to a math minor like I mentioned earlier. I don’t know the exact requirements for it, however.</p>
<p>@Hella</p>
<p>That’s what I’m doing but since most of them require macro and/or micro it leaves me with not alot of choice</p>

Why that one since it’s an Econ class that’s an elective? And is taking Intermediate micro theory and intro macro a good idea?</p>
<p>I am currently majoring both, but started to think about majoring in Econ and minoring in Math for as a previous poster mentioned, after sophomore year, it becomes pure theory. </p>
<p>Both the Economics & Mathematics majors have good job prospect since they are both very “broad”.</p>
<p>It’s a good idea to get those theory classes out of the way first. Your schedule seems fine, but next semester you would have to take intermediate micro and macro together and that might not be too much fun. It doesn’t matter that you’re taking macro principles and micro together. I guess it’s nice having different perspectives. I know someone who’s switching from math to econ who’s taking those two together as well.</p>

<p>so in an update: </p>
<p>I revised my schedule now. </p>
<p>I have Macroecon, some econ elective called “New Venture Creation” (since I need an econ elective), Fundamentals of analysis, Intermediate Spanish and I was considering adding the stats class I need for the econ major. does it sound reasonable? And is there any way I can at least see what I’m in for with the Analysis class?</p>
<p>Take a look at the book for your analysis class. I have a PDF copy of the book we used for my class. If your class doesn’t have a book posted I can send you a copy.</p>
<p>if you wouldnt mind sending that to me. thanks!</p>
