The doctoral minor in economics provides an opportunity for students in other disciplines to obtain economics training to complement their primary doctoral program. Additional information is available on the minor page of the Department of Economics' website.
Admissions
The minor field must be approved by the Department of Economics graduate coordinator. For help with planning a minor or other question, students should contact the department's graduate advisor.
