This course gives students from any major an introduction to the fundamental ideas of microeconomics. The course looks at how consumers, businesses, and governments make choices, and how those choices shape how resources are produced, distributed, and exchanged. The class ties theory to practice through real-world applications, covering consumer theory, firm decisions, market structures, income distribution, and the government’s role in correcting market failures. By working with theory and case studies, students will gain practical tools to think critically about resource allocation, policy decisions, and everyday economic issues.
This course introduces students from any major to the foundations of macroeconomics. The course studies the big picture economy, focusing on how national income, employment, inflation, and economic growth are measured and managed. Topics include fiscal and monetary policy, the role of government and central banks, and the impact of international trade and globalization. The course connects theory with real-world events and equips students with tools to analyze policy debates, understand economic fluctuations, and think critically about the challenges and opportunities facing today’s global economy.
This course provides MBA students with a practical overview of the economic environment in which businesses operate. Drawing on both microeconomics and macroeconomics, the course introduces key tools for analyzing how markets function, how firms and consumers make decisions, and how government policies shape the broader economy.

Through case studies, group projects, and discussion of current issues, students gain the skills to assess the business climate, forecast industry performance, and make informed strategic decisions.
