THE ECONOMICS MINOR
Hey clever student! If you clicked on the econ minor link, you might be pondering how you might get some more economics into your academic diet and earn something for the effort. Sounds clever to me. Anyway, below you can find basic information about the minor and ways to get more information. We economists very much want to work with good students like you—the kind that observe the world, critically question it, and insist on a logical answer. The kind that work hard and like to think about things beyond the surface. Try us out!
