Current Economics Courses:
Economics 100 is a survey course in economic theory designed for the first or second year college student. The course will cover traditional economic topics including: money and banking, unemployment, inflation, capitalism and other economic systems, interest rates, supply and demand, the market mechanism, prices, factors of production and the theory of the firm. Additionally, the course will address a host of social issues, such as: the health care crisis (?), pollution, airline deregulation, the S & L crisis, drugs, minimum wage laws and poverty. In this course, we will attempt to relate economic theory to the real world - the world of people and businesses making decisions. Students will have the opportunity to suggest topics or issues for class discussion. In this process, we will question conventional wisdom!

of Macroeconomics (ECON% 202)
Economics 202, a macroeconomics
course, focuses on the economy as a whole (or major subdivisions of it) and the
relationship of economies with one another. It should be
emphasized that economics is a behavioral or social science that examines
individual choice. Choice involves a complex set of variables that would
include cultural and social characteristics. One cannot understand
economics without a firm understanding of people or peoples. Topics to be
discussed include: scarcity, choice, determinants of supply and demand,
national income and wealth, the public sector, measures of economic activity -
unemployment, inflation, business cycles and output - money and banking, fiscal
and monetary policies, financial markets and international trade and
finance.
