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!

Principles
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.
