About the Economics Minor

Thiel’s accounting minor introduces students to advanced topics in financial and cost accounting, as well to the basics of income tax accounting for individuals. On its own, it will not generally enable students to meet the requirements for professional licensing in accounting, however it will provide career-enhancement opportunities for non-accounting majors seeking to improve their marketable skills.
