Economics

The degree program in Economics is offered by the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences.

The curriculum in Economics is designed to respond to a growing demand for students of economics who are rigorously trained in mathematical methods of analysis. The Rose-Hulman program gives students a broad background in economic analysis and an ability to use sophisticated analytical techniques in their thinking and decision-making. The quantitative training prepares the graduate for further graduate study or for economic analysis work in government or industry.

Students may also obtain a degree with a double major in Economics and another field: mathematics, computer science, etc.

Learning Outcomes:
Upon graduating, Rose-Hulman Economics majors will be able to:

  1. explain core economic terms, concepts and theories
  2. use economic theory to define, analyze and solve a wide range of problems.
  3. collect, process, and interpret data using econometric techniques and statistical inference, especially to test hypotheses and support recommended actions.
  4. communicate complex economics topics in both oral and written form.
  5. independently undertake in-depth economic analysis.

In order to permit tailoring each student’s program to best suit that student’s needs and interests, no specific courses other than in Economics are required in the junior or senior years. However, each student’s program must satisfy the following minimum requirements:
