Concentrations consist of groups of mutually reinforcing economics electives that build off the economics core curriculum. To fulfill a concentration, students must take four courses from the designated set of electives; courses in the concentrations may count towards your elective requirements.
Students are not required to complete a concentration in order to earn a degree. See the program website for more details. In addition to completing a minimum units and fulfilling both the Dietrich General Education requirements and all University requirements, recipients of an undergraduate degree in economics must complete courses in mathematics, probability and statistics, writing, economic theory, and economic analysis, as well as a set of advanced electives and other specialized courses.
It is important for students to realize that degree requirements are actually the "minimum" set of degree requirements. In fact, most economics students take more courses in their major than is strictly required.
Following the list of requirements for each degree are sample four-year course schedules for a student pursuing an undergraduate degree in economics.
As there are many different ways of completing the requirements, students are strongly encouraged to meet with an economics advisor to tailor their courses to their own particular needs. Students are responsible for ensuring that they understand all of the program requirements and that they meet the necessary conditions for graduation. When planning course schedules, students must give consideration to all prerequisite and co-requisite requirements.
The B. The curriculum's breadth incorporates the study of political, historical, and social institutions so that students may use the economic toolkit to address the current challenges humanity faces. Built into the degree is the opportunity to study political, historical, cultural, and social institutions from other CMU departments; these courses are referred to as "Special Electives". Students pursuing this degree will be well-equipped to pursue graduate work professional and academic , enter directly into the business world, or pursue public service.
All economics courses counting towards an economics degree must be completed with a grade of "C" or higher. Students must take four advanced elective courses. Advanced elective courses are those numbered through Students have the option of earning a concentration by completing a set of interconnected electives. The electives required for this degree may count towards your concentration area. To fulfill a concentration, students must take four courses from the designated set of electives.
Please make sure to consult an advisor when choosing these courses. Students must take two special elective courses in the humanities and social sciences. Students should consult the degree audit system for courses that satisfy the special electives requirement. The list below is a sample of the courses that qualify as special electives; this is not a full list of qualifying courses.
Students should consult an academic advisor when choosing special electives. The sample schedule below is an illustration of how students might plan their four-year schedules. It is important for students to realize that degree requirements are the actually the "minimum" set of degree requirements.
The curriculum focuses on using "real-world" data to forecast behavior and to investigate the relationships between observed phenomenon and economic models. Combining these sophisticated economic modeling data analytic skills with our wide range of upper-level economic electives provides students with a rigorous analytical foundation that will allow them to pursue any career that interests them.
Students completing this degree will be well-equipped to pursue graduate work professional and academic or enter directly into the business world or public service. Students must take six advanced elective courses. Advanced elective courses are those numbered through excluding Econometrics II. Combining advanced mathematics with advanced economic theory is the hallmark of this curriculum. The curriculum provides students with courses that complement and develop depth of understanding of economic theory, applied economics, and applied mathematics.
This degree offers an integrated curriculum, guiding students through a program of coursework that exploits and builds upon the synergies between mathematics and economics. This degree program equips students with the mathematical tools that are essential for success in Ph. Students pursuing this degree will be well prepared for the beginning of their research careers in academia, government, and industry. There are a limited number of student openings in this program; interested students may apply as early as their sophomore year.
Acceptance into the degree program is based on academic performance, rigor of coursework, and initiative while at Carnegie Mellon. Acceptance into the program is based on meeting the following requirements:. In order to graduate with the B. Students must take three advanced economics elective courses. Advanced Elective courses are those courses numbered through , excluding Econometrics II. Students are encouraged to work with their advisors to structure a set of courses which meet these requirements based on their particular interests, subject to course availability.
Students must take three advanced mathematics depth courses. Please note that students pursuing the B. Politics and economics are deeply interconnected. Political institutions and decision-making impact economic growth, income distribution, and many other aspects of economic life.
Both fiscal and monetary policies affect the economy, but these policies are often employed with political considerations in mind and can influence political activity.
Conversely, economic outcomes shape political preferences and policy choices. The overlap between these two disciplines is endless. For example, while the United Nations is often thought of in purely political terms, the Security Council can and does impose sanctions on countries- an example of an economic policy used for political change. Students are equal members of both academic units and receive advising from both units.
The major will appeal to any student interested in the design, evaluation, and political implementation of policy. It will be especially attractive to students considering careers in politics, government agencies, political and business consulting, lobbying, or the law.
The BS in Economics and Politics is an interdisciplinary major. The major will develop the political context and underpinnings of economic policy making.
It will explore how political institutions resolve the tradeoffs and disagreements associated with policymaking and how they can facilitate or impede desirable economic outcomes. IPS strengths lie in topics like national security, grand strategy, and globalization. Economic policy is just one facet of grand strategy, through which an administration pursues domestic and international goals.
This major will also address key issues such as the complementarity between the multilateral economic institutions such as the IMF and World Bank and the use of economic coercion, and enable students to understand economic statecraft more broadly.
Whether coercion is successful depends not just on the levers of power but on also on variations in authoritarian regime structure, and complex linkages in the international economy. This is also important for our understanding of the relationship between international economics on human rights practices, extending even to how treaty commitments can facilitate compliance with a global initiative to combat climate change.
Students must earn a grade of "C" or better in all courses taken in the Department of Economics xxx. Majors are required to take 27 units three courses from the elective lists below. At least one course 9 units must be taken from Economics xxx and at least one course 9 units must be taken from the Institute for Politics and Strategy xxx. These sample curricula represent a plan for completing the requirements for the B. The plan below demonstrates that a semester off-campus fits well into the curriculum.
Students may declare the BS in Economics and Politics as early as the second semester of the freshman year and should consult frequently with the Economics and Politics advisors about their course of study. Please note that this is only a sample plan of study and not the only possible plan of study. The Economics and Politics major and Dietrich College General Education curricula provide a high degree of flexibility in sequencing and coursework.
Double counting between the major and General Education requirements is unlimited. The plan below shows a very conservative view of double counting. Economics Location: Tepper econprog andrew. The Major in Economics and Statistics provides an interdisciplinary course of study aimed at students with a strong interest in the empirical analysis of economic data. With joint curriculum from the Department of Statistics and Data Science and the Undergraduate Economics Program, the major provides students with a solid foundation in the theories and methods of both fields.
Students in this major are trained to advance the understanding of economic issues through the analysis, synthesis and reporting of data using the advanced empirical research methods of statistics and econometrics. Graduates are well positioned for admission to competitive graduate programs, including those in statistics, economics and management, as well as for employment in positions requiring strong analytic and conceptual skills - especially those in economics, finance, education, and public policy.
Note : Passing the MSC assessment test is an acceptable alternative to completing The Mathematical Foundations total is then units. The Economics and Statistics major would then total units. Note : and are intended only for students with a very strong mathematical background.
Note: Students who enter the program with or should discuss options with an advisor. Any or level course in Data Analysis that does not satisfy any other requirement for the Economics and Statistics Major may be counted as a Statistical Elective. Must take prior to Modern Regression , if not, an additional Advanced Statistics Elective is required.
Advanced Statistics Elective Choose two of the following courses:. Advanced Statistics Electives Choose three of the following courses:.
See section 5 for details. It is possible to substitute , or for Students must take two advanced Economics elective courses numbered through , excluding and two or three - depending on previous coursework, see Section 3 advanced Statistics elective courses numbered , , , , x, , or Students pursuing a degree in Economics and Statistics also have the option of earning a concentration area in Economics by completing a set of interconnected electives.
One option is Economics Colloquium I , a fall-only course that provides information about careers in Economics, job search strategies, and research opportunities. The Department of Statistics and Data Science also offers a series of workshops pertaining to resume preparation, graduate school applications, careers in the field, among other topics. Students should also take advantage of the Career and Professional Development Center.
Students who elect Economics and Statistics as an additional major must fulfill all Economics and Statistics degree requirements. Majors in many other programs would naturally complement an Economics and Statistics Major, including Tepper's undergraduate business program, Social and Decision Sciences, Policy and Management, and Psychology. With respect to double-counting courses, it is departmental policy that students must have at least six courses [three Economics xxx and three Statistics xxx ] that do not count for their primary major.
If students do not have at least three ECON and three STA classes, they will need to take additional advanced data analysis or economics electives, depending on where the double-counting issue is. Students are advised to begin planning their curriculum with appropriate advisors as soon as possible.
This is particularly true if the other major has a complex set of requirements and prerequisites or when many of the other major's requirements overlap with the requirements for a Major in Economics and Statistics. We'll consider how knowledge is represented across different modes of media—what language, what symbols, what logic guides knowledge acquisition and expression in your varied disciplines? Weekly readings in aesthetic and critical theory introduce students to a particular vocabulary of analysis, practiced in class discussions and written responses.
Students will produce written assignments as well as creative responses to the course material. BXA Capstone Project , all students will review their own work and assemble a portfolio during the spring semester of their junior year. Students should work with their BXA advisors and their concentration faculty advisors to assemble a portfolio that represents their academic and creative milestones over the course of their college career.
Wellness: Diminished mental health and overall wellness can interfere with life balance, including academic performance. The source of symptoms might be strictly related to course work; if so, please speak with the instructor. However, problems with relationships, family worries, loss or a personal struggle or crisis can also contribute to decreased academic performance.
Counseling and Psychological Services CaPS offers free, confidential services to help manage personal challenges. Religious Observations: Students may let instructors know ways to improve the effectiveness of their courses both personally or for student groups. If any class meetings conflict with religious events, students should let the instructor know within the first two weeks of the semester so arrangements can be made. Bias Related Incidents: Each campus member is responsible for creating a safer, more inclusive environment.
Unfortunately, incidents of bias or discrimination do occur, whether intentional or unintentional. They contribute to creating an unwelcoming environment for individuals and groups at the university. Therefore, the university encourages anyone who experiences or observes unfair or hostile treatment on the basis of identity to speak out for justice and support, within the moment of the incident or after the incident has passed.
