About the course

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Analytical Economics differs from the Bachelor of Arts (B.A) in Economics in that it requires more quantitative and data analysis courses, but does not require a foreign language. It emphasizes the predictive and prescriptive modeling skills that are in high demand in today's labor market. Prescriptive modeling is quantitative and strategic decision analysis geared toward corporate decisions. Predictive modeling emphasizes data analysis skills used to develop the information needed to make these decisions.

　　Today?s economic and business world is all about big data. The B.S. in Analytical Economics major is designed to help you thrive in this world. It emphasizes the three main areas of knowledge that you are going to need: economic theory, statistics, and data analytics.?The analytics major at other schools typically focuses on statistics and computer science. But, as economist and business consultant Steve Levitt (author of Freakonomics) recently pointed out, ?Big Data alone are not enough, you need to understand human behavior and incentives for most of the applications.? The analytical economics major provides this balance of technical skills and economic reasoning. With this interdisciplinary background, you will understand how to tackle many of the economic and big data problems facing today?s businesses and other organizations. This is the background that today?s competitive job market rewards highly.
