Program description
Enter the business world with in-demand abilities, or prepare for graduate studies in economics or finance.
Are you fascinated by the mathematics that underlies our economies? Do you find sophisticated mathematical models that forecast economic behaviour fascinating?
If you're interested in the interactions between mathematics and economics, this comprehensive major will help you develop a wide range of skills and abilities relevant to your chosen profession at the intersection of these two fields.
Investigate economic issues critically using quantitative techniques, analyse domestic and international socioeconomic problems, and build applied research and decision-making skills. The combined Mathematics and Economics Major, like the Mathematics Major, has BA and BSc choices tailored to your interests.
