Department of Economics
Applied Math-Econ (A.B.)
Prerequisites
- MATH 0100 or equivalent scores
- APMA 0260 or MATH 0180, MATH 0200, or MATH 0350
- MATH 0520 or APMA 0260
- ECON 0110 or equivalent scores
- Course requirements (13 courses: 6 applied math + 7 econ)
Applied Mathematics
- APMA0355 and APMA0365
- One course from APMA 0160, APMA 0200, CSCI 0111, CSCI 0150, or CSCI 0170 (the first two courses are preferred, being less tailored to computer science students)
- APMA 1200 or 1210
- APMA 1655*
- One 1000-level or higher APMA course (except APMA 1910, APMA 1920 and research/independent study).
*Students can also use APMA 1650 but must also complete the APMA 1655 online bridgework course, pass the in-person bridgework exam that is offered once per semester, and have taken multivariable calculus and linear algebra
Economics
- ECON 1130*
- ECON 1210
- ECON 1630
- At least four other 1000-level economics courses
- Of those four courses, at least two must be chosen from the “mathematical-economics” group and at least one course, without double-counting, must be chosen from the “data methods” group.
- At most one Economics course in the 1000-1099 range may be applied toward the concentration requirement.
- Note that Econ 1620, 1960, and 1970 (independent study) cannot be used for concentration credit. However, 1620 and 1960 can be used for university credit and up to two 1970s may be used for university credit.
- (A senior capstone project or honors thesis is highly recommended although not required.)
*Or ECON 1110 with permission. For students matriculating at Brown in Fall 2021 or later, note that if ECON 1110 is used, then the concentration will require one extra course, to be taken from the mathematical-economics group.
