Mathematical Economics, B.A. Specialization in


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Program Information

The B.A. specialization in mathematical economics is substantially more rigorous in quantitative and mathematical training than the B.A. specialization in economics. It aims to address the needs of mathematically oriented students who intend to pursue graduate studies in economics or work for businesses seeking to employ young economists with a solid foundation in quantitative skills.
    The B.A. specialization in mathematical economics includes all of the existing requirements for a B.A. specialization in economics, with the exception of having to take either ECO 180, Introduction to Mathematical Economics or ECO 182, Introduction to Econometrics instead of ECO 184. In addition, the program requires 18 semester hours in mathematics and statistics, starting with MATH 71, Analytic Geometry and Calculus I and MATH 72, Analytic Geometry and Calculus II serving as prerequisites or corequisites for MATH 117, Statistics for Economics I, MATH 118, Statistics for Economics II, and MATH 135A, Linear Algebra.


Program Requirements:


Candidates for graduation must fulfill the same general requirements that are listed for the B.A. specialization in economics.

Economics: 33 s.h.


Including:

Economics electives:


Must be at the 100-level. Of the geography courses, the following courses may be taken as economics electives. (For areas of interest to facilitate choice of four economics electives see B.A. specialization in economics.)

Math: 18 s.h.


Computer science:


Students are also required to take one basic course in computer science.

The complete B.A. requirements are available in the Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences section of this Bulletin.
