The commerce and society minor is ideal for students who wish to explore how commerce influences, and is influenced by, society (in local, national, and global contexts) and the environment. This minor is designed specifically to complement a major and/or second minor in the social sciences, or professional schools (such as Business, Journalism, or PPPM). Coursework for the minor encourages the examination of the relationship between commerce and issues such as climate change, social inequality, and globalization from a variety of social scientific perspectives.

1. Analyze how commerce influences society and the environment worldwide


2. Utilize social scientific methods to interpret complex issues related to international commerce


3. Apply ethical reasoning to questions related to commerce including both human and environmental impacts


4. Explore complex contemporary economic, social, and political issues from a multidisciplinary perspective


5. Read, write and speak critically
