<p>Perhaps a simple summary of the [Chicago</a> economics major](<a href=“http://collegecatalog.uchicago.edu/thecollege/economics/]Chicago”>Economics < University of Chicago Catalog) would be:</p>
<p>introductory micro/macro economics: 2 quarters or placement test
introductory math: through calculus (3rd quarter) and linear algebra
intermediate/advanced math: multivariable calculus and/or real analysis, 2 quarters
statistics: introductory probability and statistics with calculus, 1 quarter
intermediate micro/macro economics: 4 quarters
econometrics: 1 quarter
advanced economics electives: 3 quarters
advanced elective: economics, math, statistics, or computer science, 1 quarter</p>
<p>(A quarter is 2/3 the length of a semester.)</p>
<p>Note that this includes considerably more math than the economics majors at many schools, where it is often view by both students and employers as a substitute for a business major.</p>
