<p>Wondering if anyone can give any insight to a program like this, especially what it would take to be admitted into the economics portion. I’ve taken both indroductory level econ classes and will take a couple 300 and 400 level classes as well, even though my major or minor won’t be economics. Would this prevent me from entering that part of the program?</p>

<p>From UVA’s Website:</p>
<p>"For admission it is necessary to have a solid record in courses such as intermediate microeconomics and macroeconomics, calculus, and statistics. An economics major is not required. Recommended mathematics preparation includes: advanced calculus, linear algebra, and mathematical statistics (taught in a Mathematics Department). Additional math courses, such as real analysis or differential equations, are useful. Applicants must provide a transcript, letters of recommendation, and GRE aptitude test scores, but the GRE advanced test in economics is not required. Most of the incoming students have a GRE quantitative score that exceeds the 90th percentile. Applicants whose native language is not English must submit TOEFL scores… </p>
<p>…Students interested in joint work in law and economics must be admitted by both the Department of Economics and the Law School. There is no joint program, but a few students have worked on law and economic degrees simultaneously."</p>

<li>So, it seems you can do it, but you need alot of Math and a really good report to do both law and economics. To be quite honest I’ve always thought to go into a Ph.D. programme in Econ or get an M.B.A. it would be easier to major in the hard sciences than Econ itself. Specifically at my school most of the people who pursue those courses take on those specific majors or do a joint major with Econ and Math or Physics.</li>
