Notes

• There is no Minor and there is no General Major in Mathematical Economics.

Bachelor of Science program in Mathematical Economics

• See p.22 for requirements which apply to all undergraduate degree programs.

• C- (60%) or higher is required in a course if it is to serve as a prerequisite for another course in the program.

• For information on individual courses, see calendar entries for Economics and for Mathematics.

• Students wishing to transfer to a single major in either Economics or Mathematics should consult the chair of the appropriate department before beginning third year.
