I am currently a masters student in Economics. I will be finished with my coursework required for the MA this semester minus the research paper. I am delaying graduation to take more mathematics courses. I am currently planning to start applying for PHD programs in Economics for starting fall 2012 next week. However, I found out that it is possible for me to Masters with a double major in Mathematics and Economics. It would had a year to my current program. Future goals: My fields of interest are Environmental Economics followed by Developmental Economics. I will be applying to University of Wyoming, Georgia State University, Oregon State University, Washington State University, Colorado State University, and University of Missouri- Kansas City. I had a 750 Quantitative score for the GRE (550 Verbal). My question is how beneficial would it be be to have an extra year of mathematics and have my masters have two majors versus Economics alone? Here is list of mathematics and statistics courses that I have had. (It isn't much) Calculus 1, Linear Algebra, Calculus 2, Transitions to higher mathematics (Proof writing), Econometrics I, Mathematical Economics, Statistics and Economics Finite Mathematics, Applied Econometrics, Spring 2012 Math 251 Calculus 3 Math 305 - Intro to Ord Diff Equations I Math 352 Theory of Calculus Math 417 Applied Matrix Theory Summer 2012 Math 472 Linear Programming Math 483 Math Stats in Eng. & Science Either way I go I would take those classes. However if I stay an extra year I can take these. Fall 2012 Math 452 Introduction to Analysis Math 583 Advanced Topics in Stats Math 585 Statistical Consulting** Spring 2012 Math 501 Measures and Integration Math 582 Advanced Topics in Probability Third Course ?? A lot of classes have prerequisites that I have to take before I can take them, or they are only offered during certain terms. My mathematics department is unwilling to allow me to skip any courses that are part of a sequence. I say this list on Mankiw's blog Calculus Linear Algebra Multivariable Calculus Real Analysis Probability Theory Mathematical Statistics Game Theory Differential Equation My school doesn't offer a course specifically targeting game theory. Thanks
