Economics is a social science focused on the efficient use of scarce resources. Students study Macroeconomics (supply and demand, GDP, unemployment, inflation, fiscal and monetary policy) and Microeconomics (household and firm decision-making, elasticity, consumer behavior, income distribution, international trade). Personal money management covering budgeting, investing, and retirement planning is also included. Two transfer pathways are offered: one leading to a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with an Economics major, and another to a Bachelor of Arts with an Economics major, emphasizing policy and social science.
