Mathematics, B.S. with a Concentration in Economics


This interdisciplinary program provides students with the benefits of a degree in Mathematics enhanced by a strong Economics background.  Combined skills in Mathematics and Economics are increasingly valuable in industry and government.  This program expands opportunities for post-graduation employment as well as prepares students for graduate study in Economics and related fields.

Requirements for the Mathematics major with concentration in Economics


NOTES:


  • A 2.000 cumulative average must be attained in the student’s mathematics, economics, and computer science courses.
  • Students are required to complete the MFT (Major Field Test) in Mathematics.
  • At the completion of MATH 393, students complete a Senior Project presented in a public colloquium.  This project should demonstrate evidence of the student’s Economic concentration.
  • Any student wishing to major in Mathematics with Concentration in Economics should consult the chair of the Department of Mathematics before registration.
