Bachelor of Mathematics in Mathematical Economics (Co-op) in Waterloo Canada | University of Waterloo

Modern economists increasingly rely on advanced mathematical models to analyze and forecast economic trends. Simultaneously, economic challenges have spurred significant developments in mathematical theory. This interdisciplinary approach inspired our collaborative program between the Faculty of Mathematics and the Department of Economics in the Faculty of Arts. Throughout your studies, you'll master differential calculus, differential equations, and mathematical optimization techniques for economic analysis. The co-op option provides valuable paid work experience alongside your academic studies. Graduates emerge prepared for careers in finance, government, or private sector roles, or for advanced studies at the master's or doctoral level. Choose between a traditional four-year path or gain two years of professional experience through Waterloo's renowned co-op program - Canada's largest of its kind. Mathematical modeling forms the foundation of economic analysis, with most economic disciplines heavily incorporating mathematical, statistical, and computational methods. Our Mathematical Economics program uniquely combines these disciplines, blending economic theory with quantitative methodologies to model economic systems and address complex real-world challenges. This joint initiative between the Faculty of Mathematics and the Department of Economics offers comprehensive training in both theoretical and applied economic analysis.
