Applied Mathematical Economics involves the application of mathematics to the analysis of production, consumption, and distribution. The use of mathematical techniques by business, government, and industry in such areas as production planning, resource use, the design of communication networks, and management decision-making is growing rapidly. These applications of mathematics have created many career opportunities for students who have both economic training and the necessary quantitative skills in mathematics, statistics, and computer science.

This interdisciplinary program provides a carefully selected combination of courses designed to enhance a student's employability. The purpose of the program is to train quantitative economists who can step into research positions in government or business. Employment prospects for Applied Mathematical Economics majors are generally above average. In addition, prospects for admission to graduate school in economics (and related disciplines) are enhanced by a strong quantitative background.
