Double major in Economics and Mathematics or Major in Economics and minor in Government

There are no “useless” college courses. You need to figure out major you most like. Remember to consider the advanced level courses that are a part of the major. Do you want that much theoretical math? Likewise, once you get beyond the intro economics it may be fun for you. I definitely agree that economics is not a business major, it is a social science. Ditto on the econ/calc requirement.

OP- look at the courses at the advanced level you would take- required and recommended- for proposed majors. Do not worry about having so many credits you may as well continue with one. Those upper level courses may not be what you want.
