ECON 398: The American Economy |
The American Economy reviews chronologically
the history of the United States from the precolonial
period until the present from an economic
perspective. Students will use the fundamental
principles of microeconomics and macroeconomics
to analyze key events in American history - all from
an economic perspective - and relate their implications
for the future.

| Prerequisites: ECON 201 and ECON 202 or ECON 121 |
| The course ties in well with the overall program goals of the University. It provides an additional elective for Business school students. It assists students in the College of Arts and Science, particularly history students, who need an understanding of Economics but may have difficulty putting it into the historical perspective. Finally, the course will improve the Economic understanding of students in the School of Education who are often required to teach the subject in context but have not received the appropriate training to do so. |
