Apply theory and methodology to explain the causal relationships between wages, natural resources, inflation, public policy and more.Joint majors are designed for students interested in a combination of two related fields of study. A Joint Major normally involves a specific set of course requirements selected to provide a solid specialization in each of the two fields. The graduation requirements for a joint major can normally be met in four years of study.
