Economics major programs differ in the following:
- Math prerequisites for the major and the intermediate economics and econometrics courses: low (no calculus), medium (single variable calculus), high (multivariable calculus and/or linear algebra. Student preferences on math intensity should be considered in this context. Pre-PhD students should prefer more math and take additional upper level math and statistics electives.
- What upper level economics electives are offered.
The above can be checked in the course catalogs for each college.
