How realistic is it to switch from a psychology BS to Economics?

Mike B: How realistic is it to switch from a psychology BS to Economics?
Im about to graduate with a BS in Psychology with a 3.5 GPA. I want to get a masters in Economics at a good school. I know there are others many good schools, but my question is what is the feasibility that I can switch from a BS in Psychology to going into a masters program in economics?

shouldn’t be too hard, your research analysis classes and SPSS classes were mostly math so that should help. econ is math-like so if you can do statistical analysis you can do econ.

formulas graphs charts .. it’s basically the same.

Unless you took business electives for your undergrad, you will have to take some core business classes, and the GMAT. Regardless of obstacles, I strongly encourage you to do what you want to do, not what an undergrad degree steers you toward. Life is a long journey, and having a career you enjoy and are sincerely interested in makes the trip much more fun.

Psychology and economics are two seperate beasts. I doubt that much of your work would count for an economics degree. And before considering the switch, you’ll need to ask yourself … ‘just how good am I in math?’ … because economics (especially in the later stages) gets very deep into mathematic equations / greek symbols. I sure hope you mastered symbolic logic first.

Goodluck !

Most Master’s degrees in Economics requires two years of calculus as a condition for application to the program. Sooo…
if you can slip in two semesters of Calculus that would help.
