经济学理学学士

通往经济学理学学士学位的课程14-1将技术经济学培训与广泛而平衡的本科教育的机会结合在一起。学生可以从各种本科课程中选择，并鼓励他们从事独立研究。SB经济学学位课程的目标是三方面的：为学生提供扎实的现代经济学理论基础和对经济过程的基本理解，提供对美国和世界经济的描述性知识，并在学生中发展实现以下方面的能力：定量分析和独立思考。这些目标大致符合14-1课程理论，选修课，统计学和计量经济学以及研究的要求。
Course 14-1, leading to the Bachelor of Science in Economics, provides students with a breadth and depth of training in economics that is unusual at the undergraduate level. It combines training in technical economics with in-depth exploration of students areas of interest. Students choose from a diverse set of upper-level undergraduate subjects and are encouraged to engage in independent research.<br><br>The aims of the SB in Economics degree program are threefold: to give students a firm grounding in economic theory and data analysis, to develop in-depth knowledge of particular economic issues, and to develop students capabilities for independent research. These aims correspond roughly to the requirements in the Course 14-1 program of theory, statistics and econometrics, electives, and research.<br><br>The requirements allow substantial freedom for students in designing individual programs within economics and in balancing the program with subjects in other disciplines. The ample elective slots let students apply their technical skills to develop a deep understanding of whatever interests them, whether that is poverty in developing countries, international trade, game theory, for example. The department recommends that students interested in graduate work in economics build their technical skills with additional subjects in mathematics and computer science. Students can also complement their studies in the major with subjects in political science, history, and other social sciences.
