I'm an 18-year-old high school senior about to graduate in less than 2 months. I plan to attend a four-year university as an Economics major. But to further my education pertaining to finance, what's the best kind of minor to study along with it (Accounting, Statistics, etc.). #Spring25

I believe computer science (or other related topics like data science) would be a good choice, as it equips you with some exclusive skills to tackle real world problems in Econ.

Hi Tyrone,

Your choice of a minor depends on your interests and where you want to go with this education. You find some suggestions here:

If you are headed into finance, why not add a minor in finance, or major in finance with a minor in economics? Also, data science is always useful.

I hope this helps! All the best to you!

Michelle’s Answer

I think any of those would be a good complementary fit, though my first thought was finance. You should pick an area that interests you most and based on the majors/minors available at your school. AI will continue to be a skill needed to grow expertise in, so if you have an opportunity for that I encourage that as well.

Hi Tyrone, I would suggest finance or accounting to broaden your career opportunities- corporate finance, investment banking, auditing, financial analysis. I agree with the other answers that it should be based on what interests you and what career path you see for yourself!
