UCLA Undergrad Math/Econ Major

Graduate School
1

<p>How would you view the UCLA undergrad Math/Econ Major under the Mathematics department as a potential preparation for a Ph.D. in Economics from MIT?</p>

2

<p>And how about an undergrad degree (either math or econ) from UCSD?</p>

3

<p>any insights? from anyone :(</p>

4

<p>oops…wrong thread. I didn’t know UCLA had its own corner here. :)</p>

<p>It seems to be designed explicitly for Econ PhD preparation. I imagine it’s a great program for students planning to do what you’re planning to do.</p>

<p>Yup ^</p>

<p>For UCSD, at least, they seem to cater towards the important math sequences that will help prepare for a PhD in Econ (real analysis, advanced linear/differentials, etc). I’m still doing the major, but couldn’t handle real analysis, so I took the Advanced Calc option and am opting towards Behavioral Psych PhD (behavioral decision making/behavioral economics).</p>
