Economics

This minor offers three tracks: Law and Political Economy, Finance and Money, and International Economics. Each track is designed to help students explore a coherent area of economic thought and methodology.

Law and Political Economy introduces students to the economic theory that underlies the economic choices made by individuals and the ways in which law and policy combine to regulate such behavior.

Finance and Money guides students through the economic thought and theory that underlie the importance of money, covering topics that shed light on the ways in which institutions, individual preferences, and financial markets affect the allocation and investment of money.

International Economics concentrates on the foundations, complexities, and importance of the global economy as well as the role of economic theories and policies in societies outside the United States.
