Our undergraduate curriculum offers a great deal of flexibility. Many of our students, preparing for business careers, pursue a dual degree in economics and business in conjunction with Pitt's College of Business Administration. Our majors benefit from a wide range of seminars emphasizing writing and student research. The department's Bachelor of Science track enables students with appropriate backgrounds to take courses that fully exploit their quantitative training.
This major was designed for students who may be interested in the quantitative aspects of economic analysis and mathematics. Graduates will be well prepared to pursue a career in business or industry (such as forecasting, analysis, or research). However, many students completing this degree will choose to enter graduate school in economics, business, applied mathematics, or a related field. The curriculum for the joint major consists of nine economics courses, including the core theory courses and some quantitative field courses, seven mathematics courses, and two courses in statistics.
