AA/AS in Economics

This two year Economics associate degree looks at the choices people make about producing, distributing and allocating resources. The college presents it as a stepping stone to a bachelor's degree and a professional career for students fascinated by how economies work. The curriculum builds a general picture of economic reality and a practical knowledge of finance in public and private settings. Students learn central terms and concepts, study how markets and other processes direct scarce resources, and sharpen their ability to judge arguments carefully. Prospective students can review the sample program map for economics on the college degree planning site, which lays out the course sequence and the units needed to graduate, and should confirm admission steps, costs and scheduling with the college before enrolling.
