How come chemistry majors don't get their props?

The courses for econ. majors tend to be significantly easier and require less of a workload. Not to mention, now-a-days, the math in many econ. courses is more or less watered down (think B-calc. what a joke!).

<p>Economics majors seem to come in two types:</p>

<p>A. Wannabee business majors at schools without a business major, or who did not get into the undergraduate business school. These typically take a year of “calculus for business majors”.</p>

<p>B. Math-oriented economics majors, who take two years or more of math courses that are the same ones that math, physics, and engineering majors take. May be double majored with math or statistics as well. Probably more commonly found at schools which offer or require an intermediate microeconomics course that requires multivariable calculus.</p>

<p>At schools where both “more math” and “less math” versions of intermediate microeconomics is offered, the “less math” version (for the wannabee business majors) is more popular.</p>
