<p>I heard that for CMU there is a jointly awarded Economics Degree by the Tepper School of Business and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.
What does that mean?</p>
<p>The economics program is housed in HSS with some Tepper elements thrown in. On campus, you are officially recognized as an HSS student but on the diploma I believe Tepper is thrown on somewhere along with HSS.</p>
<p>This is NOT a dual degree or double major. Two departments happen to be involved in CMU’s economics program.</p>
