School of Economics

Students are required to have a major and at least one minor in fields offered by the Department of Economics. Occasionally, the Department of Economics offers elective courses that complement our field courses. For example, Professor Danny Boston currently teaches an upper level undergraduate course entitled African American Entrepreneurship. A graduate version of this course may be offered as an elective in the Ph.D. program.

In addition, students are allowed to take elective courses outside of Economics subject to the approval of the Director of Graduate Studies. A set of elective courses taken in another discipline will constitute a minor in that particular discipline if at least two courses are taken from this discipline.
