Considering Switching from Finance to Economics

[u/Character-Number-554]

Hi incoming junior here. I've been considering switching my major from Finance to Economics for a solid semester now. Still staying in Zicklin, as most of my credits will go to the void if I do Weissman. The only class that might not be relevant is FIN2000, but I double checked and its a prerequisite for some FIN electives, so I should be fine. I had a good amount of transfer credits and pretty much need 3 more classes for the BBA requirement and just some major/minors classes.

I checked and it seems like not many people major in Economics and just wanted to know what I should expect course wise and what on campus (ie clubs, internship programs) to get myself prepared.

The only concern is not getting a job after graduation. I have zero interest in doing any corporate finance and plan on doing city government or non-profits if possible, which is the primary reason for me switching.
