The video was made 2y ago, I´m not even at Uchicago, I freaking love maths and theoretical econ, I get bored when i take some kind of business courses at uni BUT this video was sooooooooooo good, It was all well explained and funny as hell. I subscibed, liked the video and I'm gonna watch all your new videos :)
prospective student here!! and i honestly hated the idea of being forced into some theoretical bs that will have no applications w my career goals.. people r just shitting on the major bc they’re mad they had to go through years of misery and painful math LMAO
Hey! So now I’m highly considering this major! Thanks for the video! I have a quick question that I tried googling but I am still not sure: do you know what type of jobs someone can expect to have with this major? I’m unsure as to how to distinguish between the jobs for Econ vs jobs for business vs jobs for business Econ
Sure -- I think that what drives people towards the other tracks that aren't business is the possibility of grad school. I'm talking about completing a masters or phD in econ (business school is fine). The track is obvs super new, but in general, the job possibilities are pretty expansive, especially considering the degree is still "Economics." I think you'll have a better idea once you meet more people, but lots of people at uchicago will do consulting, finance, banking, etc. etc. (the track really lends itself to everything but "quant" stuff)
hey reese, i'm thinking about studying business and am looking at uchicago as a uni i could apply for. However, i am a bit confused because on the common app, under the UChicago apply section, when you click the dropdown menu to select the "academic discipline" / major of your choice, "Business" isn't there... I can only see "economics". Is there no business undergrad major offered by uChicago like ones offered by other schools such as NYU?
Hey Eric! No problem -- UChicago is a liberal arts school, so we don't have a business degree for undergrads (liberal arts schools have fewer and more "academic/research-y majors"). The business schoolwork that I am doing is a part of the economics degree (specifically the business track - Your degree when you graduate just says economics, I believe). Therefore, if you want to do the same thing that I'm doing, you would select "economics."
@@ReeseKlemm thank you! this really cleared it up for me, I'm still considering applying to Uchicago. You mentioned "theoretical math" in this excellent video, what does that sort of cover? is it really challenging?

Love this. Thank you, as I am considering applying for this major but at UC San Diego.

It's pretty wild. So many people outside the school I've talked to think it's a great major. I'm just gonna say they're jealous 😎
I love the law and order sound effect
pretty much peak comedic genius, if i do say so myself...😚
oh wow im so invested in the business econ lmao
as 👏 you 👏 should 👏 be
Reese: *drops phone*
Me: that wasn’t necessary, trash can!
perhaps explains the huge crack on the back of my phone 😗
That was proof later in the future 😉
how doable would be double majoring in bizecon coupled with compsci? incoming student here
Thanks for the defending *mhm mhm* the best econ track!!
Extremely helpful video thank you so much
I'm glad you liked it! :))
Excellent.
Many thanks!
sold.
here for it 👏👏
