Economic Principles and Problems.

Catalog description

Students are introduced to the nature, significance and scope of economics. The principles of economic analysis are developed and used to examine current and/or controversial economic issues. Some sections may cover a wide variety of issues while may be offered with a particular focus (e.g. Environmental Economics, Health Economics, Economics of Gender.) This course is ideal for students who are unlikely to take another economics course and does not count towards the major or minor. Students can receive credit for ECON 051 only if it is taken prior to both ECON 053 and ECON 055 . ( GE1B , GEGR )
