Requirements Overview
Students who pursue the minor are required to take the courses listed below. Because University rules prohibit double-counting non-introductory courses, the requirements for a minor differ according to the student's major requirements. All students must take, without double counting, at least six courses for five units each toward the minor for a total of 30 units. It is required that students review their course plans with a program administrator. Note: Students are permitted to double-count ECON 1 Principles of Economics. Students with a Major in Economics will not take PUBLPOL50 opens in a new tab and must make up the units with another course.
Public Policy students are never required to take a course that duplicates material they have already mastered. Students may, by petition, substitute a different course for a requirement whose material would be duplicative. This flexibility does not reduce the number of units required for the minor.
At most, 10 units of course work may be taken as credit/no credit. Between ECON 102A and ECON 102B, no more than 5 units can be taken for credit/no credit.
