At top 10-15 US schools, undergrad econ is usually considered an equivalent to engineering, physical science, comp sci, and math because there is a very high degree of quantitative emphasis according to Wall Street Oasis.
I know at least one Ivy League school has a two-track major in Economics: Economics with calculus for future economists and quants; economics without calculus for people heading into investment banking or consulting who aren't up for the math and just need a general ground in how economies work.
Columbia, right? I know they do Financial Economics or something. I've heard it's only slightly easier due to like 2-3 upper level classes, but yeah that was the point I was going for.
That would be news to me. All Econ here has calculus.
For the theories, I don't doubt it, but I heard for upper level electives, the difference between the 2 majors is often Corporate Finance and Financial Econ vs. Pretty mathematically heavy stuff.
If you're an Econ-Math major then sure. As electives, yes.
