Graduate Minor in Health Economics
About the Graduate Minor
The graduate minor in Health Economics is designed by the Dornsife School of Public Health in partnership with the LeBow College of Business to give graduate students economic-based skills to assess health, healthcare services, policies, and interventions. Students are required to take two core health economics courses and select two additional courses to develop additional economic understanding. Students with little or no recent pre-program economics coursework are strongly encouraged to include ECON 601 Managerial Economics or ECON 610 Microeconomics as one of their two elective courses.
Admission Requirements
Graduate minors are designed to complement students' training by providing basic knowledge in topics outside their primary discipline. All matriculated graduate students in quarter programs are eligible to enroll.
Students must receive approval from their home program and the Dornsife School of Public Health and complete the necessary paperwork with the DSPH Academic Advising Team.
