Course Description:

'' Economics involves the study of individual decision making and activities associated with consumption, production, and the use of scarce resources. Economics interacts with almost all other academic subjects and has a major effect on politics and the operation of government. Economics provides excellent preparation for many graduate and professional programs, provides rigorous academic support for study in other disciplines such as business, history, mathematics, political science, geography, and sociology, thereby providing excellent career opportunities in law, business, government service, and international fields.

Economic majors understand the impact of economic ideas on their personal lives, world leaders and society in general because they study models with predictive power. Economic majors develop a global outlook, a keen understanding of international events and an appreciation for how the affairs of all countries are intertwined.

Such skills provide a superior basis for making good personal decisions as well as opportunities for rewarding jobs and career in business and government. Much of what business and political decision makers do is explained by economic theory and has significant economic consequences for society.
