Minor in Economics
About the Minor
The Economics minor provides a solid background in the application of economic theory to markets. Students complete standard courses in micro- and macroeconomics that emphasize core training in economic decision-making. Students also choose courses that apply this training in areas such as international economics, firm and industry behavior, quantitative economic analysis, and public policy. This analytical training provides a strong complement to many majors inside and outside of business, and would be especially useful for students interested in careers in public policy or law.
Admission Requirements
Must be enrolled in a full time program.
Students are required to declare a major before declaring a minor. Students admitted directly into a specific major at the time of matriculation may declare a minor beginning in their second semester. All requirements for the minor must be completed either concurrently with or prior to the completion of the primary major requirements. This ensures that students fulfill the expectations of their primary field of study while completing any additional areas of academic specialization.
