Declaring a Minor
Declaring our minor consists of four easy steps:
- Register for the ECON courses you want!
- ECON Minor courses can not be double-counted with any Core Area A-E classes, but they can be used as Free Electives.
- If you take ECON 2105 or ECON 2106, you can not count ECON 2100 or ECON 2101 towards the minor.
- Fill out the DocuSign Add a Minor Form, it will be automatically sent to your major and minor advisors. Once both minor and major advisors sign the form, the DocuSign form will be automatically submitted to the Registrar's Office.
- In the form, make sure to check "Add Minor" and if it is your first minor, in "Primary Minor" include the name of the minor (ECON or MESA). For the "Catalog Year" include the current year. Make sure to include the emails for both Major and Minor advisors.
- Subscribe to Econ Minors email list to stay in touch with our awesome ECON Community.
- At the start of your last semester, fill out the last form—Approved Program of Study—and submit it to Davis Palubeski and your major advisor for signatures. The signed form must be submitted to the registrar along with your application to graduate.
