<p>Can any econ majors already Northwestern lay out what would be a typical econ major's schedule for the first year (put your own if you'd like). Would it go something like this:</p>
<p>First Quarter:
Econ 201-0 Introduction to Macroeconomics
Math 232-0 Multivariable Calculus with Economics Applications
Statistics 210 Introductory Statistics for the Social Sciences
Freshman Seminar</p>
<p>Second Quarter:
Econ 202-0 Introduction to Microeconomics</p>
<p>.... etc.?</p>
<p>bumpity bump bump</p>
<p>you don't necessarily need two math classes. Try something new with your first quarter, maybe get another distro out of the way. You might find that you want to be doing something other than just Economics.</p>
<p>Correct, comparanza; the list looks like my friend's classes this year. He's doing pretty well and might also try to do the 4-year Master's degree.</p>
<p>Depending on how far you are with your math, you might have to start with a lower/higher level course in calc.</p>
<p>I'm getting consistent 5s on the practice ap calc ab tests our teacher is administering, so I'm assuming calc 232. Never taken stats, however</p>
<p>what does math 220 consist of?</p>
<p>I was an econ major at UIC. I always wondered how much tougher it would have been to have studied at NU or U of C, or, whether or not it was tougher at all.</p>
<p>I had an econ professor that got his PhD from NU and said it was basically the same thing, but I doubt it. Its gotta be tougher at NU than it would be at UIC.</p>
<p>From what you posted, I took basically the same classes. Mine were probably easier though.</p>
<p>My first year i took
intro micro and macro 201 and 202
calc 1 and 2 (i think they are now called the 220's)
and distros
there is no sense in taking math, econ, and stats all i one qaurter. you have plenty of time to finsih your degree and coming to sschool is about getting a well rounded education...furthermore, despite what people say, calc 2 somewhat, but especially calc 3 arent necessary for econ. all the derivating and integrating i have done in the upper level econ classes is pretty basic and reviewed.<br>
soph year you generally take a little bit more in econ 310-1 and 310-2 311 economettrics (i think 270) stats ( 210? the social one if i remember)</p>
<p>take the classes in stride though bc its easy to get bogged down in just one subject. also, if you are taking stats this year, avoid hassan arvin rod, check out the other teachers if possible. hope this helps</p>
<p>oh and also, there is a calc 2/3 combo they offer for econ majors that is a little bit more related to business and kills both classes if you desire to take them</p>
<p>I am a senior MMSS major (the econ honors program) you don't have to decide now, but eventually you will want to decide whether you want to be a more quantitative econ math or a more social science based one. I would suggest taking your basic classes, but take the REAL math class straight calc, that way if you want to become a more quant person, it is easy.</p>
