Mathematics/Economics Program
This major, offered jointly by the departments of economics and mathematics, is designed to give the student an excellent background in modern economic analysis and a solid grounding in those mathematical disciplines necessary for a full understanding of economic analysis. Because it both demands and fosters careful reasoning as well as facility with abstract formulations of problem situations, it is an apt pre-law program. Its high degree of difficulty makes it attractive to business recruiters and it is particularly appropriate for graduate studies in economics, business and other applied quantitative fields.
Students in this program are required to take one year of a foreign language.
