The interdepartmental major in mathematics/economics is intended for those
students who wish to combine these two areas of study but do not want to limit
their course work in other liberal arts areas by having to take all of the classes
necessary for completion of the two majors. Students interested in economics
can learn the mathematical approach to this discipline, while students interested
in mathematics will learn the importance of mathematics as a theoretical and
empirical tool for solving economic and business problems. Students with this
interdepartmental major will be well prepared to enter a career in business
consulting or to enroll in graduate programs in economics, business, operations
research or applied mathematics.
Requirements for Major

* All courses for the mathematics/economics major must be taken for a numerical
grade.
* Mathematics/economics majors are expected to attend all colloquia of the Mathematics
and Computer Science Department.
* This major is not intended to lead to secondary teacher certification; however,
a student may combine this major with a certification major in mathematics.
* This major is not open to those who have a major in mathematics or economics.
