Undergraduate Catalog 2023-2024 [ARCHIVED CATALOG]
Mathematical Economics, B.S.
|
|
120 Credit Hours
A degree that focuses on Mathematical Economics familiarizes students with mathematical theories, economic theories and how math principles can be used to generate and assess economic data. The joining of Mathematics and Economics gives students an opportunity to apply mathematical concepts to develop economic models, theories and quantitative analysis. The Audience for this course would be students with strong analytical skills. This degree is interdisciplinary between Mathematics, Business, and Economics.

- A student meeting the requirements for a degree in Mathematical Economics will be able to generate quantitative analysis of a given situation.
Graduation Requirements
Conferral of a Baccalaureate degree in this program of study is determined by successful completion of the Baccalaureate Graduation Requirements outlined here.
NOTE: Students must earn 42 upper level (3000-4000) credit hours in order to graduate. A total of at least 21 of these upper level credit hours must be completed in the selected major.
Visit this program’s information page for additional program-specific requirements.
Faith, Roots, and Reason - 43 Credit Hours
The Faith, Roots, and Reason (General Education) Mathematics, Global Studies, and Social Science requirements are fulfilled through other courses in this major. Only 31 of the 43 credit hours of the Faith, Roots, and Reason (General Education) program will still be required for the completion of this program.
School of Liberal Arts and Sciences Additional Natural Science Requirements - 5 Credit Hours
Students in the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences must take five additional hours of science: 1 lab to accompany the course taken for general education [BIO 1043 , BIO 1023 , CSC 1103 , ESC 1043 , OCY 1043 , FOR 1003 , PHY 1063 , PHY 2113 ], and one additional science course and accompanying lab. The two natural sciences must be in different areas (both cannot be in biological sciences). In sum, students are required to take a minimum of 8 hours of science courses: two science courses (in two different areas) along with the labs associated with each.
We recommend CSC 1103 and CSC 1101 (lab) to fulfil one science requirement and PHY 2113 and PHY 2111 (lab) to fulfil the other required science with lab.
Required Business/Economic Courses - 39 Credit Hours
Required Mathematics Courses - 25 Credit Hours
Additional Required Credit Hours – 20 Credit Hours
These additional hours may be fulfilled by a minor, second major, general electives taken concurrently, previous coursework taken at PBA or through transfer credits.
