    macroeconomics vs. math? Transfer question

    Hello just curious if anyone has any experience with macroeconomics classes transferring? Just wondering? Does it transfer into programs in general electives or math? I am in the Psychology field an am considering transferring my credits. My problem is that all the programs, well none have "macroeconomics" as any elective or requirement? Just wondering if anyone has ever taken a class such as this? If so what did it transfer in as?

    I was curious if it would transfer in as a gen elective or a math elective or what? Any helps thanks in advance.Smile

    I would not believe that you can transfer in macroeconomics as a math subject. There is - as I see it - not much math going on in macroeconomics. Of course you can make the subject more "mathematically" if you want to, but a "normal/standard" undergraduate/graduate macroeconomics course does not require any specific knowledge of math, nor does it dwell on mathematical proofs.

    Yeah, I don't think Macroeconomics actually counts as a math class even if it does involve math.  I would imagine this would probably fit better in the sociology fields (maybe) or even count as a business elective, but not math.

    Yes, I would believe it would fit in as a sociology subject.
