<p>Those sections aren’t really important in terms of what majors and minors you can study, they’re just a way of advertising the different ways that the different majors and minors can teach you different skills like critical thinking that can be useful in careers in thepublic life, for example, or help you going forward once you’re finished with college, by giving you a global perspective, for example. What’s important at the link below is the listing on the very left showing the subjects and then the third and fourth row where it says whether you can major and/or minor in the subject:

If you minor or major in business, you are not a student at the IBS, you are student in the college of Arts and Sciences. But some number of your classes might be taught by professors who also teach in the IBS or are in the same building. </p>
<p>Some students who are econ minors or majors might later apply and go on to do a BA/MA program at the IBS, I have a friend who’s doing that right now:
