Whatever your major, you can benefit from studying markets, cultures, and governments from the perspective of economics grounded in the liberal arts.

We see you learning more about the theory and application of economic principles that may help you gain entry to positions in business, non-government organizations, public policy, and social advocacy including working on Wall Street, in Washington D.C., and throughout all the state capitals.

The Cedar Crest College economics minor provides an introduction to consumer and producer theory, and a closer examination of advanced topics such as labor, financial markets, and economic geography.
