<p>See what is required to gain entry into an MS in Econ program you might want to do. Also see if there’s an accelerated BS/MS program that you could do. Maybe you don’t want that now, but in a year or two, who knows. </p>
<p>I know when I was an econ major a long, long time ago, that was an option. I am no expert but my guess is the employers looking to hire people to do serious work are going to want to see a BS in Econ with at least one econometrics class(which is math oriented). Back in the day I could have gotten a BA in Econ with just taking Intermediate Micro and Macro and having all of the rest of my upper division courses be “Economic History of the Middle Ages” and “Queer Economics: LGBT Issues in the Economy” or whatever. My guess is at least SOME employers will distinguish between the guys that can build sophisticated forecasting models and the guy that knows how trade worked in the Holy Roman Empire. Granted, at the undergrad level you aren’t going to be that great but hopefully you can put yourself ahead of the BA crowd. </p>
<p>If taking Calc II doesn’t open up worthwhile Econ classes to you or qualify you for a BS, then it’s not going to matter. If Calc II is the pre-req for courses that really matter…then maybe it will matter.</p>
