The Best of Two Worlds
Undergraduate Economics:
Spanning Two Colleges
In the Fall of 2005, as a result of a collaborative effort between the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Tepper School of Business, the Undergraduate Economics Program announced several important and exciting changes designed to further improve the needs of Economics majors, additional majors, and minors.
Key among these changes was that the Bachelor of Science in Economics would henceforth be jointly awarded by the Tepper School of Business and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. All students whose primary major is Economics became students of both Tepper and H&SS, reflecting a strong desire that economics majors enjoy the full array of services and support of both schools.
Students wishing to major in Economics should apply to the University through H&SS. Click here for more information about Carnegie Mellon Undergraduate Admissions.
