<p>The Chicago School has a long history in developing Economic theories that I think can be summarized as “Neoclassical Economics”. I was wondering if this brand of economics is emphasized at the school today, and how much of it is influencing the undergrad curriculum.</p>

<p>I’m a potential math major but I like social sciences and I’d consider “specializing” in Economics (I think that’s somewhere between a minor and a double major).</p>

<p>Yes, monetarism and neoclassicism still rules at Chicago.</p>

<p>Also, Chicago offers a B.S. in Math with a Specialization in Economics.</p>

<p>If not the undergrad curriculum, according to the WSJ it is influencing the world. <a href=“http://www.opinionjournal.com/taste/?id=110006623&mod=RSS_Opinion_Journal&ojrss=frontpage[/url]”>http://www.opinionjournal.com/taste/?id=110006623&mod=RSS_Opinion_Journal&ojrss=frontpage&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
