Ep. 123 - What is the BS in Quantitative Economics?
Mar 23, 2026 Season 1 Episode 123
Matt Markin

Economics is getting a glow-up at CSUSB. In this episode, Matt and Julian sit down with Dr. Daniel MacDonald, Professor and Chair of Economics, to unpack the new Bachelor of Science in Quantitative Economics and what it means for current and future students. From critical thinking, research, and career paths, this conversation shows why economics is more than charts and numbers. It is about asking big questions, analyzing the world around you, and learning how to think in ways that open doors. Whether you are econ-curious, exploring majors, or wondering how a degree can connect to real-world impact, this episode has plenty to chew on.
