<p>What could you do with that? And could you major in economics and not be good at math?</p>
<p>You could major in economics but be bad at math; however, this is a bad idea. For an economics degree to be practical math is needed.</p>
<p>It depends on your school’s program. A lot of schools in the US has economics as more of a social science while other schools have it as more of an applied math type of thing. Take a look at some of the courses of your school to see whether its more social science (i.e. history of econ, labor econ, international econ…) or more math stuff (econometrics, advanced micro theory…).</p>
<p>It should be set up to where you can choose whether you want more of an applied math focus or more of a social science focus. </p>
<p>For example, in my economics department I could create my own concentration by taking certain classes, such as:</p>
<p>Applied math focus:
Money and Banking
International Finance
Computational Economics
Financial Economics
Econometrics
Game Theory
Economic Statistics (required for major)
Intermediate Micro (required for major)</p>
<p>Social science focus:
Labor Economics
Public Economics
Development Economics
Natural Resources Economics
Marxist Economics
Comparative Economic Systems
Industrial Organization</p>
<p>That doesn’t mean the social science oriented classes will not involve math. Every single economics class will have some degree of math in it of varying complexity and levels.</p>
<p>I will be doing the applied math focus by the way.</p>
