Introduction to Economics – this is a one-semester course in the Principles of Economics. The course was designed primarily for students who take only one course in economics during their college study. Still, the course provides a good foundation for those who wish to take advanced courses. This course introduces you to the "economic way of thinking". The discussed issues are complex but they do lend themselves extremely well to critical thinking and rational inquiry, which are the guiding principles of this course.

This course is divided into five sections. There are several lessons (on-line notes) for each section. At the end of each section, students are required to take an exam on the studied material. Exams are not cumulative, but the material does build on itself so it is important to understand all of the concepts as you’ll go. Usually, exams consist of multiple-choice questions and longer problems that test and increase student’s understanding of the material. Exams are obviously open-book and open-notes so some of the questions will ask you to apply what you’ve learned more than is the norm for an introductory class. The course consists of 4 semester hours. Tuition: $948

In case, you are taking the course by submitting hard copy assignments by mail, your instructor will grade the assignment and return it to you. Each of the parts of the graded assignment will receive a letter grade. These three will then be averaged for a letter grade for the assignment as a whole. Your grades on all writing assignments will then be aggregated into a score on a 100-point scale. The course consists of 4 semester hours. Tuition: $948
