Summary of Requirements: Economics Minor

The Economics Minor provides an opportunity for students in any major to study how societies produce, distribute, and consume goods and services in traditional, command, and market economics. Students can gain an understanding of the reasons for – and alternative policies to deal with – issues such as inflation and deflation, employment and unemployment, and economic stability and growth. The Economics Minor supplements studies in other disciplines and increases students' understanding of political and economic issues.

In addition to constituting a minor, the study of economics can also be pursued as an area of emphasis in the Social Sciences major. (See Social Sciences section for program details.) Courses in economics may be taken for liberal arts credit.
