This major was designed for students who may be interested in the quantitative aspects of economic analysis and mathematics. Graduates will be well prepared to pursue a career in business or industry (such as forecasting, analysis, or research). However, many students completing this degree will choose to enter graduate school in economics, business, applied mathematics, or a related field. The curriculum for the joint major consists of nine economics courses, including the core theory courses and some quantitative field courses, seven mathematics courses, and two courses in statistics.
