The transcript-recognized Economics Minor allows students not majoring in economics to master important and useful concepts, models, and analytical skills in economics. Students may focus on analytical skills and quantitative methods by taking theory courses and courses in economic statistics and econometrics; or they may explore a field of economics in some depth. The Economics Minor is intended for students who seek to acquire skills in economics that have a calculus foundation and that utilize microeconomic theory. Students who do not plan to take calculus and microeconomic theory should consider the Minor in Applied Economics.
