^I think that engineers take much more math than 3 terms of calc. Unless you mean they take REAL calc (not the BS “Business” calculus that biz majors take at some schools). Generally though, econ has harder requirements and the classes are much more difficult than business majors’ classes, so I really wonder why, outside of the ivies, econ majors aren’t recruited as heavily as the business schools. I’d wager that the best Econ students (i.e. the ones that really love it and aren’t just there because they couldn’t get into the business school) are as smart if not smarter than even the finance/accounting students.
