Sponsoring department: Politics, Economics and Law
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.

The minor requires a minimum of five courses or 20 credits. A minimum of 16 credits must be courses that do not count towards the student’s major. For example, a PEL or business major will have to take a minimum of 4 courses that are not being used as part of their major requirements. Up to two courses in the minor may be transferred from another institution. Completion of a minor requires a 2.0 cumulative grade point average in courses applied to the minor. No D grades may be applied towards the minor.
