Pursuing an economics minor will help you understand the relationship between business and economics. You can learn how economic theories affect businesses and why consumers make certain decisions. You will also gain critical thinking, analytical, mathematical, and writing skills.
Declaring a minor allows you to explore other areas of interest and make interdisciplinary connections, and minors complement your study of business and beyond.
