Most economic theory rests on explicit, formal, mathematical and/or statistical foundations. This specialization articulates and emphasizes these interactions. It is most suitable for students who either have, or wish to develop, a strong analytical background.

Note: Students majoring in Mathematical Economics who fail an Economics course twice will not be permitted to continue in the Mathematical Economics program.
