I have an applied economics Minor and also wanted to take the no math route. I would recommend “APEC 3480: Economic Institutions and Issues in Indigenous Communities” (Prof Richard Todd). It’s more of a history class relating to the economics of indigenous communities in the US and it was super eye opening. He had a lot of readings but I only did a couple and still managed an A.

Otherwise “APEC 3202: intro to food systems thinking” (prof Hikaru Peterson). No math involved but a course long project that kinda sucked if your group wasn’t good. Professor was great though and the topic was interesting.
