About This Program

  • 从两个集中领域选择:经济学和数学经济学. 
  • It's not just about studying numbers and graphs. We look at how economies work and how they impact us all. 
  • 挖掘国家的财富,它是如何生产和交换的,它去了哪里,以及它是如何共享的.
  • Is grad school in your post-undergraduate plans? If so, 我们建议你主修数学经济学或经济学和数学双学位,因为你需要了解研究生水平的高级数学建模. 
  • In addition to graduate studies, Pitzer’s Economics program will prepare you for a career in banking, finance, insurance, sales, management, or education. 
  • In conjunction with Claremont Graduate University, 我们提供在五年内完成经济学学士和硕士学位的加速课程.
