AM & Economics

Here we summarize the requirements for Applied Math concentration with specialization in Economics.  These requirements are made and continuously updated in cooperation with the Economics Department. 

For the five classes in the Application section, we require

• Economics 1011a (Econ 1010a is accepted, but not preferred)
• Economics 1011b
• Economics 1126, Statistics 111 (Economics 1126 is preferred.  Students who intend to write a thesis are advised to plan to complete Econ 1126 by the end of junior year)
• Two other classes in economics, to be chosen from the following list (updated every year in consultation with the Economics Department.  Graduate level economics courses may also be counted.).
  • Students who take Econ 1010a must choose a mathematical microeconomics course as one of the two electives.  
  • Mathematical microeconomics courses are marked with a star (*) in the list of allowed economics courses below.  Econ 2010a, 2010b, 2020a, 2020b, and 2000-level micro based electives (check with AM) also count as mathematical microeconomics courses.

Please note: We do not give concentration credit for the less mathematical classes 1010b or 1123.
