CMU’s Economics BS blends rigorous mathematical modeling with empirical big-data techniques. Students master game theory in small honors seminars, scrape millions of prices to study inflation in the Pittsburgh Internet of Things Lab, and consult for regional startups on pricing algorithms. A senior thesis sequence pairs you with faculty publishing in *AER* and *QJE*, while the Washington Semester puts your econometric skills to work shaping evidence-based legislation on the Hill.
