Substitute courses must be approved by the Department of Applied Statistics and Operations Research. The minor is for students who want some exposure to economics but who do not want the full complement of theory. The minor is an excellent complement to other social sciences such as political science, psychology, history or sociology, and provides a strong policy focus. In addition, all economics minors must satisfy a written and oral communications requirement in economics. Certification by an economics faculty member that the requirement has been met is required.
Details are available in the economics department office.
