Drexel University

The combined major in Economics and Mathematics is intended for students with a strong interest in economics, applied mathematics and econometrics. This major prepares students for pursuing a graduate degree in economics and related fields, while also offering strong career opportunities both in the private sector and in government.

In comparison to the regular major in economics, the combined major in Economics and Mathematics emphasizes economics courses with more formal mathematical analysis and contains a higher math course requirement, thereby allowing students to understand and conduct more advanced research in economics and quantitative analysis. At the same time, with one year's worth of free electives, the major offers students plenty of flexibility to take courses outside the combined major, or to transition from the combined major to a double major in Economics and Mathematics.
