Program Description

The Economics minor allows you to complement your chosen major with some general economics coursework. A minor in Economics can be of particular value to Political Science majors, or if you are preparing for law school. These requirements also satisfy the requirements for a teaching endorsement in Economics.

This minor is not available to students majoring in Accounting; Business Administration; Economics; Politics, Philosophy, and Economics; or other Business minors.

Entering and Completing the Minor

• You are required to make a formal application to this minor, which you may do at any time during the year.
• Acceptance is based upon a minimum Cumulative 2.50 GPA, completion of 5 credits in the minor with a 2.50 GPA, a minimum of 45 quarter credits of coursework complete (sophomore standing), and formal admittance to your primary major. 
• The University requires a grade of C- or better in all classes that apply to a major or minor; however, programs may require higher minimum grades in specific courses. You may repeat an SPU course only once for a higher grade.
• To advance in this program, you should meet with your faculty advisor regularly to discuss your grades, course progression, and other indicators of satisfactory academic progress. If your grades or other factors indicate that you may not be able to successfully complete the minor, your faculty advisor can work with you to explore options.
• You must complete the minor requirements in effect in the SPU Undergraduate Catalog for the year of admittance to the minor. 
• This minor is not available to students majoring in Accounting; Business Administration; Economics; Politics, Philosophy, and Economics; or other Business minors.
