Economics Concentration Curriculum

Choose two courses from one focus area (6 credits).

Due to overlap of content with engineering courses, not all economics courses available to Economics Minor students (especially within the Qualitative Economics focus area) are choices available within the IDE Economics Concentration.

Prerequisites: The Economics Concentration requires students to complete two foundational economics courses (8 credits) before starting on the economics concentration courses. Both of these courses can count towards the 18-credits of H&SS courses required by the College of Engineering & Applied Science.
