<p>An example of a school that offers low-math and high-math options is Berkeley. The [economics</a> major](<a href=“https://www.econ.berkeley.edu/undergrad/current/major-requirements]economics”>Major Requirements | Department of Economics) has the following requirements:</p>
<p>introductory economics: 1 semester
introductory math: calculus, 2 semesters
statistics: with calculus prerequisite, 1 semester
intermediate micro/macro economics: 2 semesters
econometrics: 1 semester
advanced electives: 5 semesters</p>
<p>However, students who choose the math-heavy versions of the intermediate microeconomics and econometrics courses (in practice, about a fourth of the total number of economics majors) need the following in addition:</p>
<p>introductory math: should choose the calculus for math, physics, and engineering majors, not the calculus for business majors
intermediate math: multivariable calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, 2 semesters</p>
<p>Those [preparing</a> for PhD programs in economics](<a href=“https://www.econ.berkeley.edu/grad/admissions/preparation]preparing”>Preparation | Department of Economics) are recommended to take the following in addition:</p>
<p>intermediate/advanced math: real analysis, linear algebra (more theoretical)
statistics: choose a more in-depth statistics course instead of the usual introductory one</p>
