Minor in Economics

Given the broad applicability of the concepts and analytical skills developed in the study of Economics, the minor in Economics is a valuable addition to nearly any field of study.  The minor design is intended to allow students majoring in a wide variety of disciplines to tailor their Economics course selection to best align with their academic and career plans. Students must complete a minimum of 6 Economics courses (as described below) with a Pacific minor grade point average of 2.0 or higher in order to earn the minor in economics.

Minor Requirements:

ECON 053Introductory Microeconomics4
ECON 055Introductory Macroeconomics: Theory and Policy4
ECON electives – 4 additional Economics courses (must be numbered ECON 71 or higher, excluding ECON 101L and including ECON 191 only with departmental approval)16

Note: 1) 10 units must be completed at Pacific. 2) ECON 101 is strongly recommended. It is a prerequisite to several upper division courses. 3) BUSI 031 and BUSI 033 together can substitute for one of the economics electives.
