Xavier University Undergraduate and Graduate Catalog 2024-2025
Economics, B.A. with a Concentration in Mathematics
|
|
Undergraduate majors in both Economics and Mathematics consider graduate programs in Economics or related fields. In order to be accepted into such graduate programs, an undergraduate degree in one of those disciplines is typically required, and extensive and specific training in the other is also needed. This program combines the requirements of a degree in Economics with specific coursework in Mathematics suited for a potential graduate student. Additionally, students who may not pursue a graduate degree program are likely to find the program more marketable for post-graduation.
