Courses in the 0800 series do not count toward the 15 credits required for the minor in economics, and only 3 credits of ECON 1901 - ECON 1903 , directed studies, may be applied toward minor requirements. Other than these restrictions, the two additional courses mentioned above may be any of the courses offered by the department.
