<p>I think it is common for the BA in Economics to require few math classes. My BIL was a Economics major at Columbia and he told my so to make sure that my son took the right math classes to get into grad schools. Apparently it is a common problem with the Economics degree. </p>
<p>A BA is a general degree. Grad school is for specialization. I really wish the Applied Math degree allowed for Economics as an area of Application. My son would be very interested in a degree that followed that track.</p>
<p>The report that the career office puts out on employment looked pretty promising for Economics majors. My son wants to go to grad school.</p>
