Bachelor of Science in Quantitative Economics

Miami University

Economics is the study of how we use resources for the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. Economists examine problems connected with inflation, unemployment, labor negotiations, taxes, international trade, and urban/environmental issues. You’ll gain experience using simulations to test theories and inform predictions. Recent graduates report job titles such as research analyst for the Tax Analysis Division in Ohio government. Another works for Ohio's Legislative Budget Office as an economic analyst. Others work for private firms as forecast analysts, economic analysts, and investment bankers and advisers. This program enables students to undertake a more rigorous and quantitative course of study, while still completing their degree work in four years. Additional required courses (including more quantitative courses), combined with more advanced mathematics and statistics requirements are an ideal preparation for graduate training in economics, as well as jobs in business, industry and government that require the more technical tools of economic theory and econometrics.
