<p>I have a very dep passion for both math and econ, but seeing as princeton doesn't allow dual majors I'd probably end up doing econ as my major and a certificate in math. My question is, is the certificate program really fulfilling? I mean, will I be able to take ll the courses I would have taken as a math marjo, even though I won't get a degree in math?</p>
<p>There's a maths certificate? I know there's a computational applied maths cert. but I don't think there is an actual maths certificate.</p>
<p>On the other hand, at Princeton you could major in maths and a certificate in Finance.</p>
<p>There is a certificate "Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics" (PACM). Definitely a strong program, and I think that's what your speaking of.</p>
<p>Ans yes, like Kjoodles said, you can major in Math and pursue a certificate in Econ.</p>
<p>Have you also looked at ORFE? It's Operations Research and Financial Engineering - you basically study economic/business phenomena using sophisticated mathematical analysis. It's the perfect fusion for someone interested in both.</p>
<p>Yeah, one common misconception is that all departments offer both a concentration and a certificate. That's not at all true. Check <a href="http://www.princeton.edu/main/academics/departments/%5B/url%5D">http://www.princeton.edu/main/academics/departments/</a> for the complete list. In any case, some certificates have more course requirements than others (Visual Arts has one of the most requirements for a certificate - it's essentially like taking on another major). Most people who are both interested in math and econ will get a finance certificate and major in math if math is what they're most passionate about. Choosing either one, though, will not bar you from taking as many courses as you want in the other department(s) (provided that you fulfill your other academic responsibilities while at school).</p>
<p>Oh ok I see, yeah sorry guys I should've went on the princeton page and researched a bit more before posting here.</p>
