Although the substance of the courses provides a general, but challenging economics education for students, it is primarily intended to provide the basis for their continued academic educations, whatever their major fields of study may be. The courses also provide especially good preparation for academic transfer students who may choose economics as their major field for their bachelor’s degree, as well as those who pursue careers in teaching, government service, business management and law, among others.
