Minor in Economics
Economics is a study of human behavior and decision making. More specifically, economics is a way of thinking about human action and about how and why individuals make the choices which they make. The basic and enduring strength of economics is that it provides a logical, ordered way of looking at various problems and issues.
An undergraduate major or minor in economics is an ideal preparation for graduate work. A good portion of the content of an M.B.A. program is based on economics. Economics also offers excellent preparation for law school.
