GENERAL ECONOMICS WITH QUANTITATIVE SPECIALIZATION (NO MINOR REQUIRED)

This program of study would be particularly appropriate for those students who plan to continue their education by entering a Master or Ph.D. program in Economics, Business Administration, or Finance. In most graduate programs in the social and behavioral sciences, a strong quantitative, mathematical and statistical background is becoming the norm rather than the exception. Completion of this major is excellent preparation for those interested in a career in Actuarial Science.

Requirements

In addition to the General Education requirements for a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree, students in this program of study are required to take 27 credit hours in Economics, 16 credit hours in Math, and 12 credit hours in other electives (see graduation contract form available in the Economics Department for the current program of study).
