Requirements for the Computer Science-Economics Sc.B. Degree
Interested students may contact concentration advisors in either the Department of Computer Science or in the Department of Economics.
Prerequisites (4 or 5 courses)
MATH 90 and 100, or 170; 520 or 540; ECON 110
You must take at least one course that satisfies the CS Department Writing Requirement.
Required Courses (18 or 19 courses)
Applied Mathematics: APMA 1650.
Computer Science: CSCI 150 and 160, or CSCI 170 and 180, or CSCI 190. CSCI 220, 310, 320, and 510. One of the following tracks: (1) Analytical track. Two courses from the set CSCI 1410, 1490, 1550, 1570, 1590, 1760, APMA 1210, APMA 1660. (Only one of the two APMA courses may be used.) (2) Information systems track. Two courses from the set CSCI 1230, 1260, 1270, 1380, 1430, 1480, 1660, 1670, 1680, 1730, 1900. One additional 1000-level CSCI course.
Note: Only one of APMA 1210 and CSCI 1490 may be taken for concentration credit.
Economics: ECON 1110 or 1130, 1210 and 1630; plus at least five other 1000-level economics courses. Of those five courses, at least three must be chosen from the "mathematical-economics" group. This group comprises ECON 1170, 1470, 1640, 1750, 1850, 1860, and 1870.
Capstone Course: a one-semester course, normally taken in the student's last undergraduate year, in which the student (or group of students) use a significant portion of their undergraduate education, broadly interpreted, in studying some current topic (preferably at the intersection of computer science and economics) in depth, to produce a culminating artifact such as a paper or software project.
