Yah, that’s true. Postgrad econs tend to be more mathematically inclined. Approach your local college professor for some help on some math self-help books before you start doing your postgrad.

A Master’s and Doctorate in Economics often get into more specific applications of Economics. Where a Bachelor’s degree is a generalized “liberal arts” program, graduate school is often very specific, and usually requires formulating, theorizing and researching a specific issue.

Hate to break it to you, but grad-level econ is mostly math. Don’t panic, though. If you continue to keep up with your classes (especially microeconomics is going to be tough), and keep on visualizing what the math is trying to do vs. your (economics) intuition, you’ll be fine.
