The Bachelor of Science in mathematical economics is an interdisciplinary
program that provides students going on to professional or graduate schools the
solid economic and mathematical training they need for such undertakings while
holding the number of required courses within reasonable limits. At least three
kinds of students should be well served by such a degree:
· students seeking eventually to get an M.B.A. with a quantitative
orientation (finance, for instance)
· students seeking to do graduate work in economics
· students planning study or careers in modeling in the social sciences.
