Economics is related in important ways to many other disciplines.
Because of this, students often find that adding an economics minor
is a good way to round out their studies. The economics minor is
flexible and can be molded to fit your interests. Students may pursue
specialized study in economic theory, money and banking, public finance,
labor economics, international trade, economic development, transportation,
econometrics, regional economics, industrial organization, and economic
systems.
