Bachelor of Science in Computer Science + Economics
The College of Arts & Sciences and McKelvey School of Engineering developed a new major that allows students interested in both economics and computer science to combine these two complementary disciplines efficiently, without having to pursue them as two separate majors.

Electives
Six upper-level approved courses from the Department of Economics and Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) are required: three from Economics and three from CSE. Students who satisfied the Econ 1011 and/or Econ 1021 requirements with AP credits can instead take electives in either department and add at most one course from outside of both departments. A list of these elective courses can be found on the CSE department webpage.
