Thanks for the feedback, guys. I dunno, though. Having a more focused major allows you learn skills that you’d actually use in your job, and majoring in accounting would also (ironically) give me more leeway to pursue other studies.

Also, pursuing a Master’s in 4 years would require me to stay around BU during at least one summer, meaning that I would have no flexibility to go to distant internships. Also, doing the Master’s in four years means that some semesters I’d have to take 2-3 grad courses at once basically for the last two years of college, and I wouldn’t be able to study abroad.

The more I think about it, the more unappealing the 4-year BA/MA Econ idea is. And Acere, I have to take Micro and Macro anyway just to switch to Accounting, and with my AP credits, I’ll have flexibility to take more Econ courses if it interests me.
