<p>I was recently accepted to UMDCP, but to the engineering school for civil engineering. I am seriously considering the school, however, while surfing the schools academic portfolios I noticed Smith does not offer minors, but these other odd programs. Although my main focus will be engineering, I wanted to minor in finance or econ in order to either help my future investments tactics or to look valuable to an investment firm that might scout me or even better, find out that I have an unknown interest in the field. Please can someone help!</p>
<p>You can still take finance or econ classes and learn what you need. There are many colleges that do not accept formal minors. You will have to take some classes outside of engineering to fulfill the Core requirements.</p>
<p>UMD does have three minors relating to economics, but two of them are related to agriculture and the third to environmental policy so I doubt that’s what you’re looking for. The best you can do, I guess, is take finance and econ classes. It’s strange that they don’t have the econ minor anymore (my dad went to UMD and was an econ minor).</p>
