This summer, you should review your college's course guide and understand the core curriculum of courses you'll be required to take.

Sophmore year I take intro to financial accounting, statistics, managerial accounting.

The last two years is where it gets really really heavy in econ courses

Corporations stand on 5 primary legs... Operations, Marketing/Sales, Technology, Finance and Human Resources. Make sure you can diversify your eduction thru prudent use of electives to gain an understanding of all those areas.

Yea we have to take courses not only related to econmics but to business in general as well which I think will help with the understanding of that.
