ECONOMICS Economics study attempts to clarify how the use of natural, technical and financial resources affect the lives of human beings.

Economic theories are examined and applied to the modern economic world. Topics of specialization include macroeconomics and microeconomics, how businesses make decisions, business statistics, using numbers for analysis, U.S. economic history, the economic development of the U.S. economic history, the economic development of the U.S. consumer economics, how consumers make economic choices and comparative economic systems, and the comparison of capitalism and socialism as it is applied in different countries.

College of the Canyons 131 CREDIT PROGRAMS / COURSE DESCRIPTIONS ECONOMICS Associate in Arts for Transfer Degree: Economics The Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act (Senate Bill 1440, now codified in California Education Code sections 66746-66749) guarantees admission to a California State University (CSU) campus for any community college student who completes an "associate degree for transfer", a newly established variation of the associate degrees traditionally offered at a California community college. The Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T) or the Associate in Science for Transfer (AS- T) is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor's degree in a similar major at a CSU campus. Students completing these degrees (AA-T or AS-T) are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. In order to earn one of these degrees, students must complete: 1. 60 semester units or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (CalGETC) 2. Obtainment of a minimum grade point average of 2.0. Associate Degrees for Transfer also require that students must earn a C, or Pass (P), or better in all courses required for the major or area of emphasis. This degree may not be the best option for students intending to transfer to a particular CSU campus or to university or college that is not part of the CSU system Students should consult with a counselor when planning to complete the degree for more information on university admission and transfer requirements. At the time of catalog publication, a student may earn an AA-T in Economics. Additional majors are being developed. Please see a counselor or visit www.canyons.edu for more information. Degree Student Learning Outcome: - Students will be able to analyze and evaluate scarcity, the fundamental concept defining economics and be ready to transfer and complete successfully various upper-division academic-degrees, especially in economics, finance and business. - Students will be able to examine how limited- resources allocations occur throughout markets and government policies by applying and appraising the Classical and Keynesian principles to business fluctuations in terms of economic growth, changes on the average price level and labor employment. - Students will be able to compare and contrast the decision-making processes of consumers and firms, regarding scarcity, under different levels of competition in the product and resource markets. Students will distinguish and apply the qualifying assumptions of perfect competition, monopoly, monopolistic competition and oligopoly theories. - Students will be able to acquire the quantitative tools and the historical perspectives to advance awareness of the interdependence between government policies and positive economics.
