<p>You can’t major in Math Econ and Econ, like Antarius said. The department doesn’t allow you to do it, largely because it would be so repetitive and pointless, as they share many of the same courses. I’m doubling in Math Econ and either Stats or Math , proabably the former. If you get on the ball early so to speak, and have AP credit for calc, then its not a problem to double major, and still be able to take a history, english, anthropology, etc. type course each semester just for personal interest. Its just more difficult to double in a BA and BS degree, such as pairing any engineering degree or some science degrees with a social science/humanities.</p>
<p>TheFutureIsHere there is no comp sci requirement for Math Econ, although you have the option of fullfilling your diff eq/linear algebra requirement with a computational and applied mathematics course that does linear algebra programming. I don’t know any people that have done this, most people just take the “regular” math version of the class. You can also fulfill the Stat requirement with a more rigorous stat class than the one that most people take. </p>
<p>Rice has a Financial Computation and Modeling minor which is 6 classes, 3 of which are already required for a degree in Math Econ anyways. You also have to take an economics elective in financial markets, and you may also take some statistics classes in computational finance that focus on market models and times series analysis.</p>
<p>I am doing this minor also, and like I said, it won’t be difficult to complete, since many classes can count for multiple major/minors.</p>
