The minor in Economics is open to all Morgan students, regardless of their majors. The minor in Economics offers knowledge and skills to enhance employment opportunities for students from a wide variety of majors from across the campus. Within the minor, students can concentrate on either quantitative or policy dimensions of Economics; concentrating on economic, political, and social aspects of the field. The minor complements a wide range of majors offered at Morgan. Students who chose to minor in Economics must complete the following course requirements with a grade of “C” or better:
The minor in economics contains four core courses to give a solid grasp of economics fundamentals: ECON 211 , ECON 212 , ECON 317 , ECON 318 . For many students that choose to minor, two of these courses are already part of their required coursework. Students then choose two upper level (300 or 400 level) courses to complete their minor coursework. These courses allow the student to tailor the minor to fit their goals. Please contact the department chair with questions about the minor in Economics.
Prerequisites: MATH 113

Required Courses for a Minor in Economics
Note
* If a student declares Economics as minor, they may not use ECON 211 and/or ECON 212 as part of the graduation needed for the Social and Behavioral Sciences portion within the General Ed requirement.
**A student may choose any ECON courses at the 300- or 400 level and satisfy the elective requirement. However, this precludes ECON 311 - Principles and Methods of Probability and Statistics , and ECON 312 - Applied Methods in Probability and Statistics . A student in consultation and approval of the Department Chairperson may gain approval to use a course from another department to satisfy this portion of the requirement. However, in no event, shall a student use a course offered by his/ her major department for credit towards the minor in Economics.
The area in which the student wants to specialize can vary; and the electives can be tailored to suit his or her interest and choice. Areas of specialization that can be supported include, but not limited to, the following: Public Policy & Economics, International Economics, Money and Banking, Mathematical Economics and Urban and Regional Economics or others as may be available from time to time or approved by the department.
