<p>as an econ major? In general, do econ majors take accounting courses? I am thinking about accounting as a major but if I can't get into my school's b-school then I'm hoping that I can at least take accounting courses to satisfy requirements for MAcc programs.</p>
<p>I was an econ major before I was an accounting major and I wasn’t required to take any. I could have because my Liberal Arts College(at UIUC) had a Finance Major(strange, I know) which I was interested in taking as a double major which required some accounting. Some people getting BBA’s in Econ or Business Econ or whatever might be taking accounting as part of their BBA. </p>
<p>You should obviously look at your school’s course catalog and see if requirements for various accounting classes say something like “Business Major or Minor only”. You might be able to get an accounting minor, that is…</p>
