The minor in Economics allows students to sample what economics has to offer. Students are required to take ECON 201B Principles of Macroeconomics, ECON 202B Principles of Microeconomics and either ECON 303 Microeconomics or ECON 304 Macroeconomics. These courses lay out the basic theoretical framework that economists use to view the world. Students take ECON 300 Introduction to Economic Analysis to learn how economists do research, use statistical analysis, and present their findings in either written or verbal form. Students fill out the minor by taking 3 courses in the fields of economics that most interest them.
