The interdepartmental major in mathematics and economics provides an opportunity for students interested in both economic and mathematical analysis to use certain mathematical concepts and techniques in understanding and analyzing economic problems, processes and policies. A student with this combination of disciplines would be prepared for graduate study at institutions stressing mathematical economics. Courses beyond Math 104 and Econ 102 used to fulfill the major requirements may not be taken on a pass/fail basis.
