Mathematics and Economics Option

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.

Lower-level (1000-2000 level) requirements: 

• MATH 1003, MATH 1013, MATH 1503, MATH 2203, MATH 2513, MATH 2523 (see note 6) 
• ECON 1013, ECON 1023, ECON 2013, ECON 2023 
• STAT 1793, STAT 2793 
• One of CS 1003, CMPE 1003, CS 1063 or CS 1073 

At least 18ch in lecture courses and at least 8ch in laboratory courses chosen from:

• BIOL 1105 (lecture), BIOL 1205 (lecture), BIOL 1017 (lab) 
• CHEM 1041 (lecture), CHEM 1046 (lab), CHEM 1072 (lecture), CHEM 1077 (lab)  (Note: CHEM 1872/CHEM 1877 (5ch) can be used to replace CHEM 1072/CHEM 1077 (5ch).)

• GEOL 1044, GEOL 1074 (Note: Geology courses include 2ch of laboratory components in each course)

• An additional 9ch in approved electives at any level. 

Upper-level (3000-4000 level) requirements: 

• ECON 3013, ECON 3023 
• An additional 21ch of Economics courses or approved substitutes from disciplines other than Economics (a maximum of 9ch of substitutes are permitted; please refer to the list of substitute options in Section XI of the Bachelor of Business Administration section of the Academic Calendar). ECON 3665 is highly recommended. 
• MATH 3303 (or approved substitute), MATH 3713 (see note 6)
