<p>I have several friends who are economics majors. From what I hear, you don’t have to be good at upper level math to be an econ major. You just need to know your basic math and if anything else they will teach you how to do it. There is a theoretical approach to econ and a mathematical approach that attempts to prove the theoretical side of econ. It is one of the easier majors at Wake to finish because there aren’t that many courses. From what I hear, econ is the second highest paying major outside of the buisness school.</p>
