Associate Degree in Arts for Transfer in Economics

Program Overview

The field of Economics analyses how society governs the production and distribution of goods and services, decisionmaking by members of the economy, and relevant contemporary economic issues. Through a process of informed and critical investigation of contemporary society, our faculty utilize both conventional and alternative perspectives in the field to explain how markets function, address the many unresolved problems of economic policy, and evaluate potential shortcomings of the traditional explanations of economic events. The study of Economics provides students with the knowledge required to be actively engaged participants in economic affairs. It also provides students with an analytical and critical thinking skill set necessary to address persistent social problems such as economic inequality, climate change, racial injustice, pandemics, and poverty.
