MS programs of study include a major and a minor field of study.
Students have several options for minors.
An integrated minor consists of a series of cognate courses from two or more areas. These courses must be outside the major area of concentration, with most of the courses being outside the major. Most students in the Agricultural and Resource Economics MS program choose one of the four areas of concentration listed below as their minor field. Students in the Economics MS program select Economics as the major field and one of the UGFE areas of concentration as the minor. However, students with strong quantitative backgrounds are encouraged to complete a formal statistics minor and students interested in strong training in another discipline are encouraged to take minors in those fields or to select the integrated minor option.
