Economics, Minor (Non BSBA Majors)
To access Minor Requirements, please view the Curriculum Guide tab.
A minor in economics offers students outside of the business program to gain a certification for proficiency in economics. Economics as a major has become more popular in the last decade and statistics report that majors enjoy earnings advantages over many other disciplines. Adding a minor will enable our students to participate in the robust market for economics. In addition, students interested in public policy, policy evaluation and the growing non-profit sector will benefit from more formal instruction in economics. The minor In economics develops analytical skills and could be very useful to those who want to pursue a graduate and/or professional degree.
