FAQs
What is an economics minor?
An econ minor is a small group of economics courses you can add to your bachelor’s degree. A minor in economics – just like a minor in any topic – is completely optional. Developing an understanding of economics could help you in your professional and personal callings!
Is an econ minor useful?
If the topics of the courses in a minor in economics appeal to you and could take your career where you want it to go, then it could definitely be useful.
Three courses in the Concordia program are required:
- Macroeconomics, which focuses on the economy as a whole
- Microeconomics, which takes a look at the economy at a smaller scope, like businesses and households
- History of Economic Thought, which covers policy areas between 1600 and 2000
You will then be able to choose your other three minor courses from a list of pre-chosen classes. The minor is 18 total units.
Is economics a good minor for finance majors?
Oftentimes, “economics” and “finance” are paired together in college studies.
Finance is the management of money and investments. And economics studies how people, groups, and countries use their resources. They both involve making decisions about money, the role of money in the economy, and how the market functions.
