Can a math major pursue a masters degree or phd in economics?
Yes, you can major in anything to get into a master’s or PhD economics program. They particularly look for a strong math background, and being a math major, you’ll have that advantage. You’ll still need to do well on the GRE and to get into a top economics PhD program, generally you’ll want to score above 750 on the quantitative and above 500 on the qualitative. Graduate programs in economics are among the most competitive, behind math and physics. Good luck!
