Acquiring a foundation in economics offers a versatile, big-picture perspective that can prove advantageous in the fields of government, politics, business and the nonprofit world. In addition to mastering the principles of micro and macroeconomics, you will enhance your critical thinking and quantitative reasoning skills in ways that address modern problems facing businesses.
In the Minor in Economics program, you’ll also learn about common economic theories and the roles they play in the global economy. You’ll work with the department chair to select four additional courses based on your interests. These electives can include courses such as Money and Banking, Sports Economics and Public Finance. Whether you plan to pursue a career in law, finance or public policy, this program will complement your major and provide you with additional tools to use in your chosen field.
In addition to the University Curriculum economics courses (EC 111 and EC 112), students must complete four additional economics courses for the minor. Students may request permission from the economics department chair to use one non-economics course to fulfill their minor requirements.
