<p>Do you know what you want to do with your economics degree after graduation? A background in accounting can open doors for you in the job market that an economics degree by itself would not. On the other hand, if there’s a chance that you might want to go to graduate school in economics, you should start taking math sooner rather than later.</p>
<p>Either way, I would recommend you take at least Calc 1 before you transfer, as that’s required for the major everywhere and a prerequisite for many intermediate-level economics classes. Individual economics classes, especially advanced micro and macro theory classes, might require more math (possibly up through calc 3/multivariable calc, linear algebra and differential equations) but you may or may not be interested in taking those classes as electives for the major.</p>
