Economics seeks to understand and predict human action and choice. Economic theory rests on the idea that human action is purposeful and best understood from the vantage point of a person choosing among explicitly defined alternatives. Economic theory applies principles developed from the logic of choice to the resolution of interpersonal conflicts of interest and the coordination of productive activity in a world of scarce resources. The study of economics equips students to analyze a broad range of social, political, legal, and economic phenomena and public policy. The study of market regulation, environmental protection, economic growth and development, financial markets, international trade and finance, the distribution of income, inflation, and the level of employment are the stock in trade of economics. But economists also analyze a far broader set of issues, including the nature of the family, the origins of civilizations, discrimination, crime, and the structures of law and politics. Economics provides a versatile background for postgraduate professional or academic training. Economics offers a framework for the analysis of rules of liability and property rights and thus undergirds much of the modern study of law and legal institutions. A growing number of law students find it useful to prepare for this training by majoring in economics during their tenure as undergraduates. Economics also contains the theoretical core for business, finance, accounting, and marketing and thus provides a solid foundation for postgraduate work in business administration. Many private sector job opportunities are available for economics majors in the banking industry, brokerage houses, investment banks, insurance companies, and law firms. Economics majors can work as financial analysts, risk management analysts, forecasters, or analyst staff members in litigation or merger and acquisition departments. Economics majors can also work as policy analysts for one of the Federal Reserve Banks as well as various government agencies at the federal, state, or local level.Mathematics and Computer Science are disciplines central to the liberal arts curriculum and to scholarly endeavors in all domains. The combined department at Emory offers educational programs and conducts research in mathematics and computer science, as well as several interdisciplinary areas. The department is highly regarded for research strengths in pure mathematics, scientific computing, and computer science. The department’s undergraduate program offers nine Bachelor’s degrees, three of which are joint majors with Economics, Political Science, and QTM. Exceptionally strong students may consider pursuing a BS/MS in either Mathematics or Computer Science/Mathematics. In addition to Bachelor’s degrees, the department offers two mathematics minors and two computer science minors. Strong students may be considered for the department’s invitation-only Honors program.
