Mathematical Economics is an Interdisciplinary Program offered by the College of Arts & Sciences at the University of Kentucky.

The Mathematical Economics major offers students a degree program that combines mathematics, statistics, and economics. In today’s increasingly complicated international business world, a strong preparation in the fundamentals of both economics and mathematics is crucial to success. This degree program is designed to prepare a student to go directly into the business world with skills that are in high demand or to go on to graduate study in economics or finance.

There is currently a shortage of individuals who have sufficient training in mathematics and statistics as well as an understanding of business and economics. Mathematical Economics and related areas have often been referred to as engineering for the service sector or “financial engineering”.  With the ever increasing importance of the service sector in our economy, the Math-Econ degree will prove to be a valuable asset. The program will give the student an opportunity to study a fascinating collection of ideas and it will also provide the student with very marketable skills.

A new homepage for Mathematical Economics is under development.  In the meantime, please click here to continue to the existing site.
