Enrollment

[longshot]

Well, unless I somehow land a sweet job before September, I'll be back in school.

Fall 04

Calc II
Intermediate Micro Economics
Intermediate Macro Economics
Statistics and Probability for Business

Spring 05

Multivariable Calc
Econometrics
Survey of International Economics
Survey of Asian Economics

Trying to add advanced Micro and intro to game theory for spring, but it isn't scheduled yet.

I haven't taken math in SIX years. Go me...

[Hulkein]

Good luck... You said you already have a Bachelors before? Or finishing that up?

[longshot]

Yeah, I have a bachelors already. I doubt I'll complete the second degree. I'll just take the classes I need to go to grad school for econ.

[Soulpieced]

I've taken intermediate micro, was quite interesting, but I sure as hell can't remember nor apply anything I learned.

[HarmNone]

Good for you, Longshot! Where will you be going to school? :)

HarmNone wishes you luck!

What school for undergrad and where are you thinking of applying to grad school.

[Weedmage Princess]

Math ::twitch::

Good luck, Longshot!

Survey Economics Classes can look dangerously safe for some companies. Being in Industry, I can tell you that many companies in the forecasting/marketing/management areas are looking for more technical econ degrees and mixes.

Some kinds of classes to consider:

Financial Economics
Public Economics
Game Theory
Econometrics
Statistical Geometry
Portfolio Theory
Markov Analysis

Advanced Calculus (Calc 5, but some schools allow you to take it concurrently with Differential Equations) / Probabalistic/Deterministic Modelling Theory (may only be available at the graduate level)

as well as some of the less technical/more subjective such as:

Management Systems
Ergonomics
Consumer Studies
Urban Studies (very big, wish I had taken it when I had the chance)
Utilization Studies
Principles of Research

and the most essentials:

Scientific and Technical Writing
Cost Structure Planning
Business Modelling

<---would kill self if she had to take those classes.

Good luck.

[Nakiro]

Damn. I love econ too, and hate math too!I'm enrolled in what will hopefully be the last math class I have to take for my 4-year degree (assuming I don't fail and have to retake it).

Your next semister looks a lot like my summer schedule by the way.

Good luck!

[HarmNone]

You are NOT going to fail, Nakiro! Think positive! :D

HarmNone believes in positive thinking

[GSTamral]

People who make it through Calc 1-3 usually have no issues with math after that point. Cal 1 2 and 3(multivariable, usually ending with Stokes Theorum) are meant to weed out the people who understand math from the people who don't.

[Shari]

Blah, this summer I'm taking

Intalio
Art History 101

Fall-And hopefully will graduate!

Art history 102
Mexican Art
Roman Art
Ceramic Handbuilding
Alternative Photoprocessing methods
History of Ancient Greece
History of the Renaissance

*This assuming I can even GET the classes...fucking ASU. If anyone is thinking about going there, DON'T. Especially if you're an art major.

[GSTamral]

I'd probably kill myself in those classes Jesae. I used to get bored out of my mind in Art History in high school.

I'd rather not say my undergrad, but it's a Big Ten University.

I honestly don't know where I'll end up for grad school. It depends on how I do in some of the advanced math classes, and on the GRE. It's too early to say.

Thanks for the advice. I haven't had a chance to sit down with a professor and ask what looks good.

The asian economics course is written an analysis course. It's rarely offered, but given my experience in Japan, I figure it couldn't hurt to take it.

At my school, the math courses begin to "branch" after multivariable calc. I can take differential equations and linear algebra at the same time, but that won't be until the fall of 05 (or the summer).

I need to go through multivariable calc before I can take the stats classes I need.

From what I've read, and the responses I've received from admissions people at grad schools, the math is the most important.

I'll look into maybe swapping out one of the survey courses for banking or public economics.

Intermediate micro wasn't hard at all, but I had a graduate student who taught it really well.

Intermediate macro BLOWS. It's less credit than micro was (3 as opposed to 4), and my TA this semester is some Chinese grad student with a mullet...

Statistic and probability for economics...was almost exactly the same as Introduction to Statistics, except it was worth more credit (again, 4 to 3). I wouldn't worry about it.

Multivar...is going to be challenging if you haven't taken math in awhile.

Econometrics. I *hated* econometrics. Good luck with that one.
