Mathematics and Economics Options

The motivation for the program is to equip students with the necessary analytical skill to pursue a graduate degree in either Economics or Mathematics. The combination of Mathematics in their Economics courses and the rigorous techniques from Mathematics will aid students in their problem-solving skills.

First Year (Minimum 38 ch)
a. MATH 1003 , MATH 1013 , MATH 1503
b. At least 18 ch in lecture courses and at least 8 ch in laboratory courses chosen from:

•     BIOL 1105 , BIOL 1205 , BIOL 1017
•     CHEM 1041 , CHEM 1046 , CHEM 1072 , CHEM 1077
•     GEOL 1044 , GEOL 1074, PHYS 1011 , PHYS 1012 , PHYS 1021 , PHYS 1022 .

c. A minimum of 3 ch in approved electives.

Second Year (Minimum 31 ch)

• MATH 2513 , MATH 2523 , ECON 2013 , ECON 2023 , plus approved electives equivalent to 6 term courses.

Third Year and Fourth Year (Minimum 60 ch)

Economics Requirements:

•     ECON 3013 , ECON 3023 plus 21 ch of economics courses or approved substitutes. ECON 3665 is highly recommended.

Mathematics Requirements:

•     MATH 3713 , MATH 3303 (or approved substitute), STAT 3083 , STAT 3093
•     Three chosen from: MATH 3073 , MATH 3243 , MATH 3503 , MATH 3733 , MATH 3753
•     Two chosen from: STAT 3703 , STAT 4043 , STAT 4243 , STAT 4703

Plus an additional 6 ch of electives at any level.

NOTE:

1.     Students are strongly advised to take the required courses ECON 1013 / ECON 1023 in their first year.
2.     At least 3 ch of Computer Science are required in the program.
3.     STAT 2593 is recommended prior to taking STAT 3083 .
4.     Students who are interested in pursuing graduate work in Mathematics must take MATH 3733 .
5.     Credit will not be given for both STAT 4703 and ECON 4645 .
