The Economics Minor Program consists of Economics 1, 2, and 101,
one 200-level Economics course, plus two other Economics courses
(which do not need to be 200-level) for a total of 6 Economics courses.
Students are required to take four of the six Economics courses
in residence at the University of Pennsylvania. At most one independent
study (Econ 199) can be used (and it does not count as a 200-level
course). Economics 297 can be counted towards the minor, but does
not count as a 200 level course. (Please Note: All courses for
the minor must be taken within the Economics Department. No substitutions
for courses from other departments will be accepted.)
Courses recommended for minor concentrations are as follow:
