<p>The CAS requirements are a lot easier when you discover courses that double (and sometimes triple) fill requirements. I think I’ve taken 2-3 courses that filled filled both parts of the breadth requirement. With Econ, you fill your SBA category and MQR requirements. Then all you really need are 3 of the other humanities categories (which you can fill with govt classes, and if you do it right, some of those govt classes will fill your breadth requirement). After than, you got 2 science courses, 2 FWS, and 1-3 language classes (depending on your language background). </p>
<p>If econ is 8 courses, those other requirements will be at most 12 additional courses to econ, but probably less. Assuming 32 classes for graduation or 4 per semester, you are still doing well. I’m not counting the elective requirements since those are waived if you double major. </p>
<p>My guess is you would take the 3190-3200 sequence for econ (intro stats & intro econometrics), although don’t let the name fool you. Even though they are “intro”, they are quite difficult and among the most advanced (if not most) advanced undergrad stats courses at Cornell. PAM or AEM stats would be more appropriately labelled “intro.” You’d probably also take Econ 3330 (Financial Economics). In addition to that, based on your desire for “skills” courses, you should probably take an accounting class and maybe 2-3 ORIE classes that caught your interest. </p>
<p>I just looked it up, and there is an operations research concentration. So if you double in math, I’ve brought you up to at most 29/32 classes (probably less, depending on your language background, etc.).</p>
