Sample Schedule

The following two tables illustrate how the Mathematical Economics Major can be completed over the course of four years by taking two (or at most three) courses that count toward the major per semester. You can complete the requirements of the major over a shorter period if you take more than two courses per semester. Please see Course Requirements for a detailed listing of course requirements.

For students declaring the Mathematical Economics Major after June 30, 2013, the course requirements are changed as follows: (i) MATH 2400 (formerly 240) or MATH 2600 (formerly 260) replaces MATH 1400 (formerly 104) as one of the five required introductory mathematics course. MATH 1400 no longer counts toward the major, though it is a prerequisite for MATH 1410 (formerly 114) and MATH 1610 (formerly 116). (ii) MATH 2400 or MATH 2600 no longer counts toward the two required mathematics-elective courses. 

The two sample schedules below reflect the change in the course requirements. It is assumed that you have AP credit / waiver for MATH 1400 and can start with MATH 1410 in the first semester of your freshman year.  Information about AP credit for MATH courses is available at Penn Math's Advice for New Students. 

If you do not have AP credit for MATH 1400, no worries, just start with MATH 1400 in the Fall semester of your freshman year and begin taking the required courses for the major in the Spring semester of your freshman year.
