Economics Minor

Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

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.

This minor is open to all students except economics and business economics majors.
