Economics is a social science that is heavily dependent on mathematical tools. In this program, students will become proficient in both mathematics and economics to gain a better understanding of the economic applications of mathematics. Numerous economics graduates from WKU have expressed the fact that, in hindsight, they should have taken more mathematics courses in order to better prepare themselves for graduate studies in economics and for applied economics positions. An B.S. in Mathematical Economics with the General Mathematical Economics Track provides this educational experience. While not required, this major is ideally combined with second major or minor to complement these skills. A mathematical economics major would also be ideal for mathematics students seeking ways in which to further apply their mathematical skills.
