Economics (Minor)

Students in the Economics minor will learn not only how to evaluate real-world economic decision-making, but how to apply economic tools to real-world problems.

  1. Apply analytical tools to evaluate natural resource and environmental issues in an economic approach.
  2. Evaluate and solve real-world economic situations using game theory techniques.
  3. Understand and analyze domestic and global macroeconomic fluctuations and trends in a systematic way.
  4. Conduct research and analyze real-world situations using quantitative techniques and use effective written, oral and nonverbal messages to convey ideas, information, and intentions.
