Economics Minor

Requirements for a liberal arts minor in economics

 Coordinator: Anandi P. Sahu

The economics faculty believes strongly in its role as a provider of education in economics to a broad range of students in other majors. Even moderate contact with the concepts and applications of economics will be valuable to most students. The minor in economics provides recognition to the student who does not want a major in economics but who has taken several courses in the area.

The minor in economics consists of a minimum of 18 credits in economics courses including any prerequisites for these courses. A student must take ECN 210  or both ECN 201   and ECN 202  (or ECN 200 ). A student must then complete 12 additional credits in any 300- or 400-level economics (ECN) courses. A minimum grade of 2.0 must be earned in each course in the economics minor and in the prerequisites for each course. This minor is open to all students except economics and business economics majors. Students taking ECN 150  or ECN 160  before ECN 201  or ECN 202  (or ECN 200 ) who subsequently want to minor in economics, should talk to the minor coordinator.
