Right now I’m a Math major at Georgetown (incoming freshman). I think I would so much more enjoy, however, being a Political Econ major (which is basically a hybrid Gov and Econ degree). Just for you to get a sense, here are the major reqs:

3 Government Courses

Microeconomic Theory

Macroeconomics or International Finance

Economic Statistics

Econometrics

Analytical Tools for Political Economy

Capstone in Political Economy

2 Political Economy Electives (one of which requires a research paper)



These courses are of course in addition to gen ed reqs. My question is, if I were to major in Political Economy, would I be able to get into a good (maybe even elite) Grad economics program? Or would this only prepare me for a grad degree in political economics? Thanks for your help in advance!
