The
new Minor in Quantitative Economics permits quantitatively well-prepared
students to do the core of the Economics major, and gives them access to the
Certificate Programs in Economics, with fewer required electives than the full
Major in Economics.
This
minor requires a total of 18 credits in economics.
Specific
requirements for the Minor in Quantitative Economics:
Introduction
to Microeconomics (01:220:102) and Introduction to Macroeconomics (01:220:103),
both with a grade of C or better.
Intermediate
Microeconomic Analysis (01:220:320) and Intermediate Macroeconomic Analysis
(01:220:321), both with a grade of C or better. These courses have the introductory
courses and Calculus I (01:640:135 or 151), all with a grade of C or better, as
prerequisites.
Econometrics
(01:220:322), with a grade of C or better. This course has the introductory
courses, Calculus I, and Statistics (01:960:285 or 01:960:211), all with a
grade of C or better, as prerequisites. Mathematical Theory of Probability
(01:640:477) or Mathematical Theory of Statistics (01:640:481) may substitute
for the Statistics prerequisite.

Students
