Minor in Human Capital and Labor Markets
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences offers a Minor in Human Capital and Labor Markets. The minor is an option for undergraduate students who wish to complement their major field of study with knowledge on various aspects of human resources, including investments in education and health, work in the labor market, and economic demography. The minor requires 18 hours as distributed below:
Required Courses—Human Capital and Labor: 18hrs
- Markets Minor (9hrs)
- ECON 120—Principles of Microeconomics
- ECON 220—Microeconomics: Theory and Practice
- ECON 331—Labor Economics
- Three courses selected from the following (9hrs)
- ECON 214—Economics of Education
- ECON 353—Economic Demography
- ECON 215—Health Economics
- ANTH 214—Sex and Gender in World Cultures
- PSCH 210—Theories of Personality
- SOC 224—Gender and Society
- SOC 225—Racial and Ethnic Groups
- SOC 244—Sociology of Work
Note: Students may use courses to fulfill the requirements in both their major and this minor, but the credit hours may only be used in one or the other. For example, a student majoring in Sociology may use SOC 224 for this minor, but would need to take an extra 3-hour 200-level Sociology course towards the Sociology major. Please note that students choosing to take PSCH 210, SOC 224, SOC 225, or SOC 244 must take the corresponding prerequisite course(s).
