 Return to: Hierarchy
Bachelor of Arts
This major is designed to allow students to develop strong quantitative skills within the context of the economics major. It is a very fruitful course of study for the student who plans to pursue graduate work in economics, business, or other areas in the social sciences. It also prepares students for immediate employment in careers requiring economic research.
The quantitative economics major builds upon the five courses in the core curriculum of the major and adds Mathematics for Economists I (ECN 315), Econometric Models (ECN 314), and one additional quantitative course from the following list: Forecasting (ECN 409), Seminar in Advanced Econometrics (ECN 486), or Mathematical Economics II (ECN 415). Together, these courses fulfill three of the economics electives required for an economics major. The remaining four economics electives may be selected from the list of upper-division economics electives.
Quantitative economics majors develop a supporting area of quantitative electives that include three courses (nine credits) from within or across the departments of math, computer science, engineering-physics systems, accounting, finance, or management. These courses must form a coherent unit and allow for further integration of quantitative analysis into the curriculum.
