Bachelor [Economics-Engineering] From Claremont McKenna College

Students in the program spend the first three years (at least 24 courses) at Claremont McKenna College, where they complete all of CMC’s general education requirement, all but three of the courses required for a major in economics, and several science and engineering courses. The science courses may be taken at Keck Science or at HMC; the engineering courses are taken at HMC. During the two years at HMC, students complete HMC’s general education requirements, the requirements for the major in engineering, and the remaining three elective courses in economics, including at least two level two elective courses. Some courses may be used for more than one requirement.Under a joint admissions agreement, CMC students with a grade point average of 9.50 or higher, who have completed all required courses for the program during their years at CMC, are guaranteed admission to HMC. For admission to HMC, applicants may not have any grades below B- in mathematics and science courses, and no grade lower than C in other subjects. Interested students are expected to meet with the chair of the HMC Engineering Department and a HMC admission counselor before the end of the sophomore year. Deadline for application is February 1 of the junior year. Students who plan to major in Economics and Engineering are expected to complete five (or more) courses per semester. New students may enroll in five courses during their first semester. Professor Higdon is the program advisor.
