Designed to give a background in economic theory plus the mathematical tools needed to analyze and develop additional theoretical constructions. Emphasis is on the abstract theory itself.

Course Requirements:

1. Economics:

a. EC 111 or 113

b. EC 121

c. EC 163

d. At least three other 100-level economics courses. Of these three courses, at least two must be chosen from the "mathematical-economics" group. This group comprises EC 117, 147, 164, 175, 185, 186, and 187.

2. Mathematics:

a. At least two calculus courses through MA 18 or its equivalent

b. Linear algebra (MA 52 or 54)

c. Either option A or option B as follows:

Option A is MA 161, MA 162, plus one course from the "advanced mathematics" group (see below).

Option B is AM 165, plus two courses from the "advanced mathematics" group (see below).

The "advanced mathematics" group comprises MA 101, 111, 112, 113, and 114.
