I was wondering about that, and I suppose it makes sense to fulfill prerequisites for another department even if you’re applying to WW. For some programs, like politics, they only require you to have taken two departmental classes. The econ department, however, has significantly more prerequisites, and that’s part of the problem with people’s WWS applications: it looks like they’ve concentrated too much in a specific department (like econ) so their application is denied. How do you get around that and fulfill the requirements of another department without it looking like your interests are lopsided?</p>
<p>A question about the faculty: if a faculty member is listed as both an econ prof and WW prof, then which is their home department? A lot of professors are listed as “Public Affairs and Economics” - how does that work?</p>
