Minor Requirements

To get a minor in economics, start out by taking introductory macroeconomics (GECON 200) and microeconomics (ECON 201).

Then you only have to complete 12 more credit hours in economics, six of which are at the 300 level or above. The minor totals 18 credit hours.

Students whose career plans call for a minor in economics should pay close attention to selection of electives. Economics faculty members are available for advising about courses that would be especially helpful for such pursuits as financial services, consulting, law school or graduate school.
