SAM AND IRENE BLACK SCHOOL OF BUSINESS
Economics
Minor, 18 Credits
The Economics minor is a strong complement to virtually any major, including those within, and outside of, the School of Business. (Note that most School of Business majors will, as part of their major, already have earned 6 to 9 credits toward the Economics minor, making it particularly attractive).
The
minor can enhance the market value of a major and can provide students with options
and opportunities beyond those offered by the major program of study.
A grade of C or better is required for all courses in the minor.

credits, including ECON 002 and 004, and 6 credits at the 400 level; a grade of
