At its most fundamental level, economics is the study of how scarce resources are allocated. What will be produced and consumed, how much, and by whom? These questions are central to the well-being of people throughout the world. Economists identify, model, and analyze problems with the objective of developing practical and efficient solutions to challenges confronting society. Economists are also active participants in the processes and institutions through which economic policies are implemented. In the public arena sphere, economists contribute to the design of programs and incentive systems to foster efficient implementation of policies. In the private sector, economists use modeling and data-analytic skills, both in identifying ways to enhance productive efficiency within the firm and in developing strategies to enhance effectiveness of the firm as it competes in the global marketplace.
Upon major declaration, students pursuing the Bachelor of Arts in Economics or Bachelor of Science in Economics are affiliated with the Tepper School of Business. This means that students complete the Tepper general education requirements and are subject to all Tepper School policies and procedures. Students interested in the Bachelor of Science in Economics+Mathematics first declare the Bachelor of Science in Economics degree and are then able to apply for Economics+Mathematics major. The academic college affiliation for students pursuing majors in Economics+Politics and Economics+Statistics is the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
The Economics majors are designed to develop strong analytical skills and a solid foundation in the discipline of economics. More specifically, measurable objectives for our economics curriculum are the following:
-
Students should be able to identify, explain, and use economic concepts, theories, models, and data-analytic techniques.
-
Students should acquire and use knowledge of economics, mathematics, statistics, and computing flexibly in a variety of contexts, providing the foundation for success in graduate studies and careers in the public and private sectors.
-
Students should be able to apply their economic tools to formulate positions on a wide range of social and economic problems and engage effectively in policy debates.
-
Students should use the investigative skills necessary for conducting original economic research and participating effectively in project teams.
-
Students should be able to deliver effective presentations in which they combine visual communication design with oral arguments and/or the written word.
Degree Options
In order to accommodate students’ wide variety of goals, three primary degree majors are available in the Tepper School of Business:
-
Bachelor of Arts in Economics
-
Bachelor of Science in Economics
-
Bachelor of Science in Economics and Mathematical Sciences (jointly administered with the Department of Mathematics)
The Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences administers two interdisciplinary Economics majors:
For students who major in other academic fields, additional major programs in Economics, Economics and Politics, and Economics and Statistics, and a minor degree program in Economics are available.

Students must take three economics elective courses. Economics elective courses are those numbered 73-3xx through 73-49x. Students are encouraged to work with their economics advisor to structure a set of courses to meet these requirements based on their particular interests, subject to course availability.
Economics Policies and Procedures
Course double counts
Students cannot double count courses within the Economics curriculum. When choosing to double-count courses between Tepper and other academic departments, the double-count policies are determined by the other academic department for a minor, additional major, and/or dual degree. There are no double-counting restrictions between the minor and the student’s home college general education requirements.
Non-Tepper students earning a minor, additional major, or dual degree in Economics must adhere to the policies listed in the catalog for double counting courses. Students pursuing multiple Tepper minors cannot double count beyond one course across the minors. There are no double-counting restrictions between the minor or additional major and the student’s home college general education requirements.
External Transfer Credit
Courses taken at higher education institutions outside of Carnegie Mellon can be considered for transfer credit through the Tepper School course equivalency process.
BA in Economics: May transfer a maximum of 18 units of economics elective course credit;
BS in Economics: May transfer a maximum of 18 units of economics elective course credit;
BS in Economics and Math: May transfer a maximum of 9 units of economics elective course credit;
Additional Major in Economics: May transfer a maximum of 18 units of economics;
Minor in Economics: May transfer a maximum of 18 units of economics elective course credit.
FIRST YEAR ACADEMIC ADVISING
First-year students interested in economics begin as Dietrich College students and are assigned a Dietrich College Academic Advisory Center (AAC) advisor. While the AAC advisors are the advisors of record until students formally declare their majors, students who are considering majoring in economics are encouraged to speak with the Tepper School Economics advisors so that they will have access to program resources, advising, and the community of faculty, staff, and students.
MINIMUM GRADE STANDARD
All economics courses (73-xxx and higher) counting towards an economics degree must be completed with a grade of “C” or higher. Students who fail to receive a grade of “C” or better in an economics course prerequisite will be dropped or not permitted to enroll in the associated economics course.
senior Experience
The senior experience curriculum requirement can be met through completion of 73-497 Senior Project or the honors thesis. The senior project course 73-497 can be an upper-level economics elective if students are completing an Honors Thesis and earning the BA in Economics, BS in Economics, BS in Economics and Math, or BS in Economics and Politics. 73-497 does not count as an upper-level economics elective for students pursuing the BS in Economics and Statistics.
Transferring into Economics
The Economics program accepts applications for transfer admission from any academic institution outside of Carnegie Mellon University on a limited basis. Students interested in transfer should contact Carnegie Mellon's Office of Admission.
The program also accepts applications for a major change from current Carnegie Mellon students who are in other academic programs to begin in either the fall or spring semester. To be considered, a student must have successfully completed a Carnegie Mellon math course required in the economics program (21-256 Multivariate Analysis 21-256 Multivariate Analysis 21-254 Linear Algebra and Vector Calculus for Engineers 21-254 Linear Algebra and Vector Calculus for Engineers or 21-259 Calculus in Three Dimensions 21-259 Calculus in Three Dimensions ) and 73-102 Principles of Microeconomics or 73-104 Principles of Microeconomics Accelerated 73-104 Principles of Microeconomics Accelerated and 73-103 Principles of Macroeconomics.The application also requires a resume and personal statement. CMU students interested in changing to a Tepper major must complete the internal transfer application by the deadline which is always the last day of class in the semester preceding the desired semester for transfer. Successful transfer is limited by space.
