The curriculum in
Economics is designed to respond to a growing
demand for students of economics who are
rigorously trained in mathematical methods of
analysis. The Rose-Hulman program gives students a
broad background in economic analysis and an
ability to use sophisticated analytical techniques
in their thinking and decision making. The
quantitative training prepares the graduate for
further graduate study or for economic analysis
work in government or industry. Students may also
obtain a degree with a
double major in Economics and another field
such as mathematics, computer science,
engineering, or science.
