What's the difference between majoring in Economics vs. Business?

 

Economics Minor
Students who plan to minor in Economics may declare the major at any time. Since many economics courses may be counted towards other majors, students (especially in Finance and International Business) may find they can easily complete the minor requirements.

The Economics minor consits of 21 units (7 courses): [prerequisites noted]

  1. Lower division requirements (2 courses, 6 units)
    • ECON 1A: Introduction to Macroeconomic Analysis
    • ECON 1B: Introduction to Microeconomic Analysis
    • STAT 1: Introduction to Statistics
  2. Elective courses (5 courses, 15 units)
    • STAT 1: Introduction to Statistics may be counted toward the Economics minor.
    • 12 units (4 courses) must be completed in Economics courses numbered 100 or higher.

Business Majors
Students who plan to major in Business with a concentration in Finance, may count ECON 100A toward their elective requirements for the major.

Finance majors may count ECON 100A, ECON 100B, and ECON 135 toward their degree. These courses may overlap with the Economics minor. This means that if you are a Finance major, you may complete the Economics major by taking only one additional course, not required for your major.

Similarly, you can overlap courses in this way if you double major in Economics and Business.
