This major combines math and economics to help you build skills in the quantitative tools you’ll need to conduct modern economic analysis and solve complex real-world problems faced by businesses and consumers. And because this interdisciplinary major is a joint program of our Economics and Math departments, you’ll get the combined strengths of both.
Sharpen your skills through internships, collaborative research with faculty, business competitions, clubs and service learning. This hands-on approach lets you put your knowledge into practice and prepares you for a successful career in economics, data analysis, policymaking and more.
Your education will be grounded in values and infused with social justice — which means you’ll not only understand business economics, you’ll also know how to influence the economy responsibly and ethically.
