the economics minor
  A minor in economics can be easily combined with any other major in the University and it provides an excellent foundation for careful and ethical thinking about social and business problems. The Minor in Economics consists in six courses. The required courses are ECON 201, ECON 202, and ECON 315. For the three electives, students can choose any other three economics courses.

  

Certificate in Business
  ECON 201 Principles of Macroeconomics and ECON 202 Principles of Microeconomics are prerequisites for most courses of the Certificate in Business.  Business courses, however, do not count as Economics electives.
