The economics minor is intended to familiarize students with the economic aspects of society, to develop their ability to use economic theory and techniques to analyze contemporary social issues, and exercise judgment in evaluating public policy. Students interested in further study or careers in business (management or finance), international relations, law as well as public policy areas such as environmental policy, public health, urban studies or civil service will benefit from this minor’s more in-depth training in the tools of economists.
