Minor in Economics
Regardless of your major, a minor in economics can enhance your education by teaching you more about how people make choices and how those choices affect markets, resources and wealth.
As an economics minor, you’ll study how markets work and how income is distributed. Your classes will also explore the role and effects of competitive markets and monopolies on the economy, as well as the problems of unemployment and inflation.
