USC: Marshall vs. Math/Econ

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Southern California

<p>I was recently admitted as an incoming sophomore transfer to Marshall. I plan on majoring in BizAdmin with an emphasis in Valuation or Markets (as I want to go into investment banking/capital markets.) </p>

<p>I would be able to complete the major and 2-3 free electives on time, but I am considering switching to Mathematical Econ because the Marshall core is a huge chunk of classes that is rather limiting to other courses I would like to take. Essentially, if I were to switch to math/econ, I would fulfill that major and take a few Marshall cores with 4-5 upper div finance classes as electives. Is this advisable from an academic and job recruiting standpoint?</p>

<p>I've heard a lot about the supposedly weak econ program at SC and the unmatched recruiting from Marshall, but if anyone could shed some light it would be much appreciated.</p>

<p>I’ll be an incoming fresh at SC so I can’t answer your question. But at the end are you saying recruitment from Marshall is high and the mathematical Econ is a weak program? </p>

<p>Is that a different Econ than economics found in Marshall?</p>

<p>Mathematical Econ or Mathematical Finance?</p>

<p>Mathematical finance is only a minor. Mathematical econ is called Mathematics-Economics and it is offered by Dornslife.</p>
