Economic and Business History (Minor)
This more targeted minor program introduces students to the intertwined histories of economics, business, finance, capitalism, labor, and political economy. It is designed for students entering professional careers that require a deep understanding of the economic, political, and historical complexities of the global age. The minor consists of five 3-credit hour courses with no prerequisites. Students take four general electives from a roster of courses approved by the Department of History. In addition, students will have to take the new capstone course “Economy and Business in History” which allows them to synthesize and apply the methodologies and approaches of the discipline to their writing assignments, including a required research paper as a final assignment.
