Economics (Minor)
Curriculum Guideline
There are no separate admissions requirements for a minor, but you must be enrolled in a degree program in order to complete a minor.
- This minor is available for any Bachelor’s degree student
- Successful completion of 27 credits
- 15 credits upper level course work required
- Courses taken as a part of another credential can still be used to meet the requirements for this minor. For example, students taking the BBA Accounting are required to take ECON 1150 for their major, but this course would also satisfy the ECON 1150 requirement for this minor and contributes three credits towards this minor’s 27 required credits.
