AA/AS in Economics

Economics at Cuesta College teaches students how economic theory is used in practice, so they can form their own judgments about the origins of, and remedies for, pressing issues in society. The foundation it gives helps people reason about choices they make in daily life as buyers, workers, business owners, and citizens, and as participants in an interconnected world economy. Students who want to look further can open the matching area-of-study page on the Cuesta College website. It lays out sequences of courses meant to help with choosing classes each term and with planning what comes after graduation, whether that means transfer, work, or more study. The division also lists a contact for specific questions about the subject.
