<p>Each of the 3 words in this majors' name sounds marketable/practical/good for job prospects. Seems like you can't go wrong, job-wise, with Math and Econ!</p>
<p>From my school's curriculum, it's half Math classes (pretty tough ones) and Economics, with a few gen ed requirements thrown in, as it is offered by the liberal arts college.</p>
<p>So what're your thoughts on Applied Mathematical Economics?</p>
<p>Seems pretty solid to me.</p>
<p>The “Applied” seems a little redundant - unless it refers to “Applied Econ,” which sounds maybe a little watered down. I doubt it makes a big difference though if the goal isn’t grad school.</p>
<p>forget the applied and economics apart. Pure mathematics is the way to go. you can add on an emphasis later on in your major like: functional analysis, differential geometry, abstract algebra, complex analysis, real variables, or even real analysis. those sound better to a prospective employer i think. It shows you have very well formed analytical skills. Econ is just math with added concepts related to business.</p>
<p>Who would hire someone with experience with statistics, data analysis and knowledge of basic business principles and economic theory, if they could have an expert in differential geometry or complex analysis instead? Pure math will cure cancer and end world hunger. And it can make breakfast and do your laundry. There will always be a solution if you know your math.</p>
<p>Sorry, I couldn’t resist.</p>
<p>haha your right, but it does show that your able to work with numbers</p>
<p>I work with a couple people that majored in “Applied Statistics”, it’s a great major if you want to be a government analyst, especially paired with Econ.</p>
