Does Berkeley offer a minor in Economics?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>I'm going to be an incoming freshman to UC Berkeley this fall, and I'm going to major in political science. I'm looking into law school, possibly corporate law. In addition to my current major, I would also like to have a base in economics/management as well. So for that reason, I would want to take some economic classes, and pursue a minor in economics for that matter. (This would make me more marketable anyways if I chose not to go to law school, and still kept my poli sci major). </p>

<p>I looked on the website for Haas, and it only lists requirements for a major in Business. Does Berkeley offer a minor in economics? And if so, what type of classes would I need to take to get such a degree? Would I have to take micro/macro econ, calculus, statistics, counting (the general classes needed for the major at a less intensive level)? In essence, what type of classes would I be taking?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Berkeley does not offer a minor in economics. However you can always take the classes or major/minor in something which would get you a lot of exposure to topics similar to economics. A few examples:</p>
