<p>I’m talking about statistics classes for psychology majors, so this is the psychology department. They’re all social science majors, and statistics is a major component of a career in the field. Psychology professors teach statistics for psychology majors.</p>

<p>Wouldn’t any economics major need to take some math (at least calculus) early on, as a prerequisite to intermediate micro/macro economics and econometrics courses? Some economics departments have significantly heavier math requirements (e.g. multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and/or differential equations), and more math is recommended for those looking at going on the PhD programs in economics.</p>
<p>My daughter took math and science classes until she declared a CS major after taking the famous CS17/18 into sequence at Brown. Phil Stein also developed the course, I believe. At her small dept graduation of about 45, at least 6 graduates mentioned, when they rec’d their diploma, as this class as having influenced them to change majors. And my daughter wasn’t even one that mentioned it, so I’m sure there were others. But my dd was a peer adviser as an upperclassman, and said that most come in as first years with CS as majors. She never mentioned job markets when looking at majors. She is a 5th year grad student now.</p>
