The Economics minor provides students with an overview of how incentives and institutions shape society. Students in the Economics minor have opportunities for strong theoretical and statistical training in areas of development economics, economics growth, economic history, empirical methods, environmental economics, health economics, international trade, labor economics, law and economics, political economy, and public economics. The minor provides a nice complement to many other major fields of emphasis, including for example political science, engineering, psychology, and public health, in all of which economics principles can be useful for both conceptual understanding and career paths. In Fall 2019, the Economics minor enrolled 19 students.
