Economics Minor
Course Requirements
Students earn a minor in economics by completing the following requirements. Courses may be taken for a letter grade or pass/no pass, but any courses taken pass/no pass cannot later be used toward an economics major since majors require letter grades. For that reason, taking courses for a letter grade is encouraged, but not required.
