Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Economics/Master of Science in Economics and Applied Econometrics

The interdisciplinary Master of Science in Data Science (MSDS) offers combined 4 plus 1 Bachelors and MSDS programs that allow students to complete both the Bachelor's degree from a variety of departments and the MSDS in a total of five years of full-time study. The undergraduate degree options include those from the Departments of Mathematical Sciences and of Physics and Astronomy in the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Departments of Computer and Information Sciences, of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and of Mechanical Engineering in the College of Engineering. All requirements of both degree programs must be satisfied. Up to six credits of graduate coursework in the department of the undergraduate major may be applied toward satisfying the requirements of both degrees.

Studying the growth of emerging markets, consumer behavior, production schedules or portfolio optimization are important jobs in a free market economy. The ability to model loan defaults, price insurance products for life, health or property, or model uncertainty and risk in other economic activities, is a highly prized skill. The Mathematics and Economics program trains students to model uncertainty, with a focus on the financial services sector and the economy. The degree is also excellent preparation for students planning to pursue a graduate degree in Economics, as a strong background in mathematics is a must for admission into the top graduate programs. The B.S. in Mathematics and Economics is offered jointly by the Department of Mathematical Sciences and the Department of Economics. Many students in this program also take graduate courses in Economics and Mathematics, and they often collaborate on research projects with faculty members in either department.
