^I think the main reason that majoring in math isn’t as big at NU is because it has other excellent programs in engineering and MMSS (math methods for social sciences) that kinda draw the students away from majoring in pure math. The MMSS program is popular with about 40 students per class and if you already do MMSS, you would double major in something else other than math (MMSS is an adjunct major). NU also has excellent engineering programs (most are ranked in the top 15) and the most popular one is industrial engineering and management sciences (top 5 in the country). The IEMS students often double major in Econ, rather than math. There’s also engineering systems and applied math in the engineering school. If NU doesn’t have those programs, math and Econ would probably have been the combination for quite a few of these students instead.
