Minor in Economics
The economics minor provides exposure to the fundamental economic way of thinking and approaching a multitude of complex problems. The field of economics is highly interdisciplinary, making our minor program an excellent critical and analytical supplement to a variety of existing majors. The courses included in the minor allow students to diversify their analytical skill sets with practice in computation and data analysis, fundamental economic theory, and empirical methods. The economics minor provides excellent concrete data science skills directly applicable for pursuing careers in multiple sectors.
