ECO 101 Principles of Economics
This introductory course, which covers the basic foundations of
microeconomics and macroeconomics, is the gateway to the economics
curriculum and an important part of a well-rounded education. The
microeconomics portion of the course covers basic supply and demand
analysis, market failure, present value, opportunity cost, and the theory
of the firm. The macroeconomics portion of the course introduces issues
such as inflation, unemployment, and government policy tools. Students
attend common lectures once a week and meet in smaller discussion sections
twice a week. In addition to discussion and problem solving, the bi-weekly
section meetings will focus on the use of Microsoft Excel to analyze
real-world economic data.
