A Minor is offered in Applied Economics
The mission of the Applied Economics minor is to develop students’ understanding of the forces affecting the economic life of individuals, communities and nations, and to provide a basis for informed opinions and responsible decision-making on many public issues. We do so 1) by providing a learning environment focused on small classes, individual interaction with faculty, and information technology-supported classrooms; 2) by offering vigorous training in the principles of economic theory and developing critical thinking and problemsolving skills intrinsic to the economics discipline; and 3) by nurturing the ability to apply these skills to analyze and address relevant issues at both individual and community levels.
