The B.S. Major is designed specifically for students interested in graduate study of Economics or a career in which quantitative economic analysis plays a significant role. The major’s strong quantitative component stresses multivariate calculus, linear algebra, and econometrics -- essential in Economics graduate training. Please note that students do not have to be in the Honors Degree Program in order to enroll in the Honors section of a class.
