Minor Requirements2007-2008 Course RequirementsThe minor in economics and finance enables a student to pursue concentrated study in an area of economics or finance that meets his or her individual interest. The minor requires satisfactory completion of one prerequisite, ECO 203, and of ECO 204. A total of 15 credits (not including the prerequisite) satisfies the minor's requirements. For majors within the Department of Business, these 15 credits must be beyond the economics and finance courses required for those majors. The specific course of study will be determined in consultation with the lead professor or other advisor within the Department of Business.
Two separate majors are offered in the Economics and Finance Program, one in economics and one in finance. The curriculum for both requires a combination of economics, finance, accounting, and business courses. These majors prepare students for a wide variety of careers in business and government, and can also serve as springboards for graduate studies in economics, finance, law, business administration, public policy, education, and many other disciplines. After completing the business common core requirements, each major offers distinct advanced courses: the economics major emphasizes advanced microeconomics, macroeconomics, labor theory, and research and statistical methods, while the finance major incorporates accounting, investments, and research and statistical methods. The department also offers minors in economics and in finance designed to meet unique career objectives.
