ECON 202
PRINCIPLES OF MICROECONOMICS

INTRODUCTION

Economics 202 is the introductory course in Microeconomics. Included in this course are such topics as economic decision making by the household, and by business firms under varying degrees of competition. The study tends to be market oriented because its focus is upon the operation of free enterprise market economies of the type found in the United States and other modern economies. While the private domestic economy made up of households and business firms is the focal point of the study, the role of governmental finance and spending and the global economy are also integral parts of the course.

This course offers three (3) hours of academic credit.

MID-COURSE TEST AND FINAL EXAMINATION

The student will take a Mid-Course Test and Final Examination at a physical location in a college or university setting. Detailed instructions and Mid-Course Test and Final Examination applications are included in the online syllabus.
