Requirements for the Major

A major in Mathematical Economics requires the successful completion of:

1. One year of Principles of Economics (ECON 051 PZ  & ECON 052 PZ )
2. One year of Economic Theory (ECON 104 PZ  & ECON 105 PZ )
3. One semester of Economic Statistics (ECON 091 PZ )

7. One semester of Linear Algebra followed by one semester of either differential equations or probability. This can be satisfied by taking different sequences of courses from different Claremont Colleges. Currently, these sequences are: HMC: MATH 12 (Linear Algebra) and either MATH 13 (Differential Equations) or MATH 62 (Intermediate Probability). CMC: MATH 060 PZ  (Linear Algebra) and either MATH 111 (Differential Equations) or MATH 151 (Probability). POMONA: MATH 060 PZ  (Linear Algebra) and either MATH 102 (Differential Equations and Modeling) or MATH 151 (Probability).
8. Senior Seminar in Economics in the student’s final year (ECON 198 PZ )
