UCLA Business Econ vs. Mathematical Econ

<p>What exactly is the difference between Business Econ and Mathematical Econ? What do you learn... what is it like in both majors? I am leaning more to mathematical econ now because I work better with math... my dream right now is to work at wall street like the big 4... how does mathematical econ compare with business econ to getting me there? Thanks!</p>

<p>Depends what you want to do in Big 4. Many people who are doing audit/tax will major in Biz or Reg Econ and minor in Accounting. If you want to do Advisory in a specialization that is more catered to mathematical stuff, then Math Econ with an Accounting minor may be your best bet. If you plan on taking the CPA/CISA/whatever other tests they have, make sure you get all the required units before you graduate (this might require summer classes and/or 4 classes in some quarters).</p>
