ECN 1500 - Economics in Today’s World

(4)

Provides an overview of both macroeconomics and microeconomics. Students will learn about the law of supply and demand, economics of business, industry structure, international trade, exchange rates, inflation, unemployment, and fiscal and monetary policy. This is a survey course intended for students who desire a broad familiarity with a wide range of economic concepts. It does not provide adequate preparation for degrees in business or economics, and does not provide sufficient background for the Professional Engineering (PE) examination. Economics or business major should not take this course (see specific requirements for those majors). (Formerly ECN 150) Satisfies the university general education requirement in the social science knowledge exploration area. Offered every fall and winter.
