Minor in Political Economy
The minor in political economy will offer a career/degree path to students with a non-business interest in economics. While most of the coursework is in economics, the idea is to allow students to take courses in other disciplines including political science, history, and philosophy that complement the study of economic decision making in the political sector. Over time the minor may expand its course offerings in coordination with faculty in these fields.
