Hello again,
I'd like to know about the economics aspect of the College of Social Studies, particularly in regards to its rigor, mathematics requirements, and how large a proportion of the CSS program it takes up.
One of my plans is to apply to an elite PhD program for economics immediately after graduation, which afaik will require not only a large amount of economics knowledge but also a strong background in math. From what I've read of what CSS students do - hundreds of pages of reading and essays every week - it seems like the economics aspect is a secondary consideration and almost entirely theory-based and not mathematical.
I think I would enjoy CSS either way but securing a path through grad school is my priority. But I also am not keen on majoring in solely economics because of how much the humanities aspect of CSS, as well as the structure of the college itself, appeals to me. So: would the CSS prepare me for a PhD program in economics, and if not, what kind of grad degrees do CSS majors tend to pursue?
