Fresh Start on BSBA Finance. How do I strategize for future?

[sanantone]

Thanks Sanantone for the response. So here is what I have so far from speaking to a friend in admissions at a good NYC Uni and some googling..

1. Math needed: Linear algebra, Multivariable calculus, Statistics (good to have also: Ordinary differential equations, Real analysis)
2. High GRE score in Math
3. Principles of economics, intermediate microeconomics, and intermediate macroeconomics (I don't think these are offered at TESU)

Also, some things that would help me get into a great Ph.D program vs. Masters (I was told getting a Masters before Ph.D in Economics is not necessary):

1. Become a research assistant for an Economist or a related institution


With this information, do you think I could/should do the economics classes required at another school and transfer them for this degree? Is it possible to do that and would that be considered Learner Designed?

Thanks!

TESU has an economics major, but they don't offer all of the required courses. You can take them elsewhere and transfer them to TESU. A learner-designed area of study is when you basically create a major that doesn't exist at TESU. However, it is not an official major that will show up on your transcript.
