Economics and Mathematics

Our students take economic analysis a step further with advanced mathematics.

Our students are critical thinkers—they consider a problem from every angle

When you study economics and mathematics, you'll apply the best aspects of statistical technique and economic principles to hands-on problem solving.

Through internships and research, you'll grow in knowledge and confidence. Our students go on to graduate school and successful careers in finance, business, government, and consulting.

ECON 100 Principles of Microeconomics and ECON 101 Principles of Macroeconomics are basic to all other work in Economics and should be taken no later than the second year by students considering the joint major.

Students take advantage of internships at various companies, research institutions and cultural institutions. Students have recently found internship positions at:

Morgan Stanley
