It’s really easy! You can modify anything with anything else. My roommate’s actually thinking about doing engineering modified with econ. Essentially, most of your classes will engs classes, and you take however much econ you want. Heck, I can say that I’m doing a Econ major modified with astrophyics, biochemistry and women in gender studies… and never take a class in any of those.

Literally, it’s what you make of it. You usually do a modified major if you don’t have enough classes to fulfill the minor requirements in the second department, but want your degree to reflect a high level of interest and achievement in a second field. You choose your plan, you choose your classes and you go and have fun!

That being said… a minor in econ’s a pain in the butt, so either double major, or modify your major with econ. I think there’s like 2-3 classes in difference between the econ major and minor (a single track’s difference…), but there’s a pair of prereq’s and 5-6 other classes required for the minor. Just really not worth it. Either go big, or take some econ classes that look interesting and modify a major.
