Quantitative economics is a joint program of the College of Business and Public Administration (CBPA) and the Mathematics Department of the College of Arts and Sciences. The program offers integrated study in mathematics, statistics, and economics. The program is designed to prepare students for graduate study in economics (M.A. or Ph.D. programs) or business (Ph.D. programs or quantitatively oriented M.B.A. programs). The program also prepares students for research-oriented jobs in government, business or consulting.
The B.S.B.A. in Quantitative Economics is offered by the Zimpleman College of Business and additionally requires students to complete the Business Core courses. (Note that there is some overlap with the major.)
