<p>With 205 I’m pretty sure you can drop the lowest test and replace it with your final. I know a lot of people who did that, but I don’t know the policies for this teacher. The class really isn’t that hard compared to other upper level econ classes though, so if that is not going well I doubt 208 and 210 would, so it is probably best for her to reconsider. I don’t think you need 205 for the minor, but the econ minor doesn’t really require any of the technical classes so while it isn’t useless it doesn’t help as much as the major. </p>
<p>That said I know a lot of people who drop out of Econ and just get the minor with the MMS certificate and major in something like PoliSci or PubPol who get fine jobs. French is something good to know for business if she has any interest in working with or in Europe. </p>
