The curriculum provides all students with the opportunity to become familiar with the macroeconomic and microeconomic paradigm, as well as to develop facility with economic applications in various policy areas. Consistent with the interdisciplinarity of Trinity's curriculum and its focus on gender, race, and diversity, the courses offered by the Economics Program invite students to study the discipline from a variety of perspectives and to understand the historical and institutional context in which both private and public decisions are made. In addition, the Economics Program follows the mission of Trinity by providing both breath and depth of study and by encouraging students to develop an ability to abstract, handle data, and critically analyze existing work, both theoretical and applied.<\/p>\n<p>The Economics Program supports a minor in the College of Arts and Sciences.<\/p>\n<span id=\"Minor_Requirements\"><h2><a name=\"minor\"><\/a>Minor Requirements<\/h2><\/span>\n<p>Required Courses (21credits)<br \/>\nALL of the following courses:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >ECON 101<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >ECON 102<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >ECON 311<\/span> OR <span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >ECON 321<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >ECON 312<\/span> OR <span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >BADM 328<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >MATH 110<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Elective Courses<br \/>\nTWO additional upper-level (200- or 300-level) courses in economics<\/p>\n<span id=\"Program_Policies\"><h2><a class=\"anchorGlyph\" name=\"policies\"><\/a>Program Policies<\/h2><\/span>\n<p><script>\nfunction toggleCourse(control) {\n\tif ($(control).hasClass('dyn_course_off')) {\n    \t$(control).removeClass('dyn_course_off').addClass('dyn_course_on');\n\t\tif ($(control).next().is('span')) {\n\t\t\t$(control).next().slideDown('slow');\n\t\t} else {\n\t\t\t$(control).parent().next().slideDown('slow');\n\t\t}\n    } else {\n\t\t$(control).removeClass('dyn_course_on').addClass('dyn_course_off');\n\t\tif ($(control).next().is('span')) {\n\t\t\t$(control).next().slideUp();\n\t\t} else {\n\t\t\t$(control).parent().next().slideUp();\n\t\t}\n\t}\n}\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>Advanced Placement: <\/strong><br \/>\nAdvanced Placement scores of 4 or 5 will be accepted for credit by the Economics Program to satisfy ECON 101 and ECON 102.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CLEP Policy: <\/strong><br \/>\nStandard scores and above are accepted in the CLEP examination only in consultation with program faculty.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Grades in Major Courses: <\/strong><br \/>\nMajors must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 in their major.\u00a0 Majors must receive a grade of &#8220;C&#8221; or better in required courses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pass\/No Pass: <\/strong><br \/>\nWith the exception of internships, courses fulfilling a major or minor requirement may not be taken pass\/no pass.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Senior Assessment: <\/strong><br \/>\nThe senior assessment for economics majors, a comprehensive project to be completed under the direction of program faculty, is a component of ECON 499.
