Economics Minor

 

The minor in economics provides a basis for the application of economic analysis, which is the foundation for most business decisions. The minor allows the choice among a wide range of electives and therefore provides a well-rounded preparation for careers in business and public service. The emphasis on critical thinking in the economics minor is also excellent preparation for law and other graduate study.
