  • Some courses done as part of the economics minor may count toward fulfilling the School’s nontechnical requirements. However, other courses, such as ECON UN3412, may not be applied toward satisfaction of the nontechnical course requirements. To determine which economics class can count toward the nontech elective requirement, please consult the nontech elective section of this bulletin for further details.
  • Students with AP credit for economics and an exemption for ECON UN1105 may use the credit toward the minor.
  • Transfer or study abroad credits may not be applied to fulfill the requirements of the economics minor.
