Quantitative Economics Minor
The Quantitative Economics minor is designed for students seeking a strong analytical foundation in economic theory and applied methods. The program integrates coursework in mathematics, statistics, and econometrics with core areas of microeconomics and macroeconomics. Students learn to model economic behavior, analyze data, and evaluate policy through a quantitative lens. By emphasizing both formal reasoning and empirical techniques, the minor prepares students to pursue graduate studies in economics or related disciplines, as well as careers requiring data-driven problem solving and rigorous economic analysis.
The Quantitative Economics minor consists of 18 credit hours.
