<p>Hello!</p>
<p>I was wondering what the Econ program is like at Ramapo College. Is anyone here a current student or has recently graduated and wishes to shed some light on their program? How does it prepare you for graduate school? Is it more theoretical or quantitative? Thanks!</p>
<p>[Economics</a> (B.A.) - College Catalog: 2013-2014 || Ramapo College of New Jersey](<a href=“http://www.ramapo.edu/catalog-2013-2014/asb/economics/]Economics”>http://www.ramapo.edu/catalog-2013-2014/asb/economics/) indicates that the economics courses are not very quantitative.</p>
<p>The intermediate micro and macro economics courses (ECON 201 and 202) only need a light introduction to calculus and statistics (MATH 101).</p>
<p>The location in the business school and the several business course requirements indicate that it is more of a business economics major than a pre-PhD economics major.</p>
<p>The above post nailed it on the head! If you’re interested more in a business background, with some economics thrown in, then by all means, come to Ramapo. </p>
<p>Come to think of it however, I don’t think I’ve ever met an Economics major at Ramapo. Though the major exists, it’s really a small program. Micro and Macro are offered practically ever semester, but advanced economics courses are a dime a dozen.</p>
<p>If you’re interested in a pure economics degree, DON’T COME TO RAMAPO!</p>
