<p>I'm a Life Sciences major who wants to take some business classes to make myself more marketable to employers after graduation. I want to work as a Business Analyst. </p>
<p>I've taken Micro and Macro econ and Intro to Business. I want to take Intermediate Microecon so that I can advance my business knowledge and so that I can take some advanced economics classes my senior year. </p>
<p>I can only take Accounting in the Business Department at my school, but I don't wanna take it.</p>
<p>Is it worth it to take Intermediate Microeconomics?</p>
<p>During my experience with interviews in business-related fields (corporate finance and supply chain management), the hiring managers with whom I interviewed looked positively upon my intermediate microeconomic analysis course (I listed the course in my “relevant courses” section of my resume). And one of my friends who interviewed for the same position told me that the same interviewer wrote “no intermediate micro” on his transcript. It’s a useful course and if you are mathematically inclined, really helps you understand the finer points that intro courses skip.</p>
<p>And if you are interested in anything business analysis related, you should have a background in accounting. You may not need a full-blown course (that would help), but you should be able to talk about the basics of the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement in a lot of interview situations. I’m a mathematics major / economics minor, btw.</p>
<p>Totally agree with sligh… above^^^^.</p>
<p>Intermediate microeconomics was probably my favorite economics class I took in college. I really like microecon and intermediate offered some pretty dynamic looks at the material. Whether it was duopoly models, isocost/isoquant models, Lagrangian models, or a little game theory, I found the course to be very interesting.</p>
