Pros and cons between Business Econ and Finance degrees at BYU...

Econ is a short major. I graduated with exactly 120 hours.

Econ does actual math and grades on a curve. If he wants to be a quant go that route. If you want soft finance go

Ok get me up to speed on th lingo, what’s a quant?

So Econ is math heavy then. Ma 110 and 112 isn’t 112
kotacoug
2/19/19 10:52am
Yes 112 is calculus.
BeefNoodleSoup
2/19/19 10:55am
I think 110 is Linear Algebra and 112 is Calculus 1

No. 110 is college algebra. 343 is linear algebra. BIG DIFFERENCE.

OK I took 343. I'm so glad I don't have to deal with that kind of crap anymore.

Like the math analyst guys at investment banks or the saber metrics type people.
Baron
2/19/19 10:51am
IF he isnt good at math avoid Econ though. You can do finance in the business school much easier.
Baron
2/19/19 10:52am
That’s what I was wondering. He did ok in math but it wasn’t his forte.
kotacoug
2/19/19 10:53am
He could still do it but it is much heavier math. A lot of proofs and theory.
Baron
2/19/19 10:55am
This is 100% false. Econ is an open major. Finance is very hard to get into.
TPcoug
2/19/19 11:13am
If you can’t get into to finance you will struggle in Econ. Econ was grades on a true curve and substantively
Baron
2/19/19 11:26am
Im sorry to say but I think you are out of touch. Anyone that doesnt get into
TPcoug
2/19/19 11:29am
I think the dynamic you’re describing is because Finance is a closed major.

I never said it wasn’t hard.

Are you serious? This is challenging?

Getting in is "hard". The business classes, not so much. There's no class in the

Econ is also a good field if he's interested in Data Science.

Econ allows a lot of flexibility (I went to med school) since it’s so short.
2018grad
2/19/19 10:48am
So you took the Med pre reqs and majored in Econ?
kotacoug
2/19/19 10:51am
Yep. Took me one extra semester, but only because I didn’t start with that plan
2018grad
2/19/19 10:56am
Lots of people major in econ because the got denied in the Marriott school
molodyets

I would have gotten in the Marriott school.

I’d definitely be interested to know the percentage, but I don’t think it’s

2/19/19 11:22am
Ok that’s m other question... how does the timing etc work with the Marriot
kotacoug
2/19/19 10:55am
Econ is an open major. Don’t need to apply.
2018grad
2/19/19 10:57am
So the Finance major you have to apply to Marriot and be accepted
kotacoug
2/19/19 11:02am
you ahve to apply to every major in the Marriott school. Yes, switch to Econ
molodyets
2/19/19 11:04am
Marriott School, for most majors you can only apply summer.
