Economics Minor

Students majoring in other departments may obtain a minor in economics. Students must have a GPA of at least 2.000 in economics courses attempted and must receive at least a grade of C- in all classes counting toward the minor. Nonlecture classes (including ECO 4390  and ECO 4398 ) cannot be used toward an economics minor. All advanced economics courses must have the ECO prefix; no substitutions are allowed. Students may obtain either a general minor in economics or a minor in a specialized field (international economics, public economics, labor economics, economic growth and development, econometrics, monetary economics, economics of industrial organization, or economics of decision-making). The specialization may be obtained if six hours of 4000- and 5000-level courses constitute one of the above eight fields currently approved by the Economics Department.
