Do you consider a bachelor in economics to be a very demanding program?

Answer 1

As one of my professor's told me when I asked him about the demands of an econ degree

"The only program with more math than econ, is math."

Myself, I don't consider it demanding but I score high above average in my courses. It really depends on your interest. If you are strong enough in math and are willing to work you'll do fine.

Additionally, it also depends on what school you plan on attending.

Answer 2

I'd judge that it's the most demanding major in the realm of business and liberal arts. (Of course that depends on one's own talents and interests). I majored in Econ and was totally into it, but there certainly were a lot of people who spent those classes in bewilderment and confusion, and I was always an outlier in those classes that were graded on the curve.

I think that along with being analytical and reasonably good in math, it's immensely helpful to have some prior experience in real-world markets -- whether as an individual investor or as a teenage entrepreneur, etc. In economics everything boils down to supply and demand, and when you fundamentally REALLY understand that, it all makes sense.

Answer 3

I enjoyed economics.

Like the other poster said, if you have decent math skills and are inquisitive, you should be able to get through it with few problems.

We need more people who understand economics because there is an extreme economic IQ deficiency in the world right now.

Answer 4

It depends on the individual. If you are good in math and have the ability to think critically, you will have an advantage. It also depends on the university and what courses are required...

Good luck if you are considering a major in Economics.
