With an Economics minor, you will:
- Evaluate how macroeconomic trends and policies influence funding and access in areas like healthcare, education, and conservation.
- Apply microeconomic principles to improve resource management, public health initiatives, and environmental sustainability.
- Leverage data-driven tools to address real-world issues, such as school funding, healthcare disparities, and environmental policy.

Students in majors outside of Economics may declare a minor in Economics with approval from the program director.
