Associate in Arts - Economics

  • Course description Economists study how society can best use scarce resources
    such as land, raw materials, capital, and labor. They analyze
    the relationships between the supply of goods and services and
    the demand for them, as well as how these goods and services
    are produced, distributed, and consumed. Some economists
    work on public issues such as the control of inflation, business
    cycles, unemployment, wage, tax, and tariff policies. Economics
    is widely recognized as a solid background for a career in business,
    government, law, teaching and research.
    This major may also lead to many other careers. For additional
    possibilities, visit the Career Services Center on campus
    to utilize computerized career information systems and other
    valuable career resources.
