<p>What kind of career/grad school options can look at with this degree? Especially outside the obvious i-banking/analyst types.</p>
<p>A mathematical Economics degree would prepare you for grad school better than a normal econ degree would. Beyond that, more math classes on your transcript will only help you when applying for jobs. As for the variety of jobs, you could go the finance/industry route, work in the public sector, or a multitude of others.</p>
<p>I am also curious as I just saw this on the UCLA site
How hard would the math parts be?</p>
<p>here are the pages:

<p>Looks like in addition to the normal econ classes, you would be required to take Calc 1-3, Linear Algebra, and discrete math. This is defiantly more rigorous than the BA in econ, so you will have to use your own discretion.</p>
<p>It really depends on what you do as an undergrad. Examples:</p>
<p>Tons of math>math grad school
Tons of econ>econ grad school
Tons of both>pioneer interdisciplinary movements!
minimum of each>not much, but it's a BS/BA</p>
