Which of these minors compliments an Econ major the best?

College Majors Business Major
1

<p>Stats, Math, or Business?</p>

<p>Especially if one isn't totally sure about their post-grad plans.</p>

2

<p>Math !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

3

<p>Yeah, I agree that it's Math. But a knowledge in Statistics complements with Economics as well, though not as much as it is with Math.</p>

4

<p>I'd go with math. If you want stats exposure too, just take some econometrics courses.</p>

5

<p>some schools offer a mathematical economic analysis degree, which i'm sure opens up many opportunities. it deals with stuff like econometrics, game theory, etc.</p>

6

<p>But for career prospects, business would be the best choice for a minor.</p>

7

<p>I do not agree that business would be the best minor for career prospects. Any of those would work well.</p>

8

<p>MMSS at Northwestern is the best! :)
MMSS</a>, Weinberg College of Arts & Sciences, Northwestern University</p>

<p>Unless you are planning to work in the government sector, business would probably be the best minor. Math or statistics (either one) would be next best.</p>

<p>It should be noted that it does not make a whole lot of difference, though.
Employers will hire people with all three minors;--they will be looking for the best fit in terms of communication, overall skills, and the requirements of the job. The minor will not make much of a difference in this regard.</p>

<p>Business is useless as an undergrad degree and minor. --you want business major in a solid undergrad degree and go to Bschool. </p>

<p>Math and statistics are some of the best minors available. They show ability to analyze and problem solve. Additionally math and stats are fields few actually venture into. </p>

<p>Math degrees are actually highly desired by companies hiring new grads in the business field.</p>

<p>"some schools offer a mathematical economic analysis degree, which i'm sure opens up many opportunities. it deals with stuff like econometrics, game theory, etc."</p>

<p>My school does offer that, but it would keep me in school an extra length of time that I'm not really itching to do since I've already taken an exceptional amount of time off. </p>

<p>I'll probably go with Stats since it fits better with my schedule. Everyone, thank you for taking the time to reply.</p>
