How well do you understand our economic system? Learn more about it in Principles of Microeconomics.

The two objectives of Principles of Microeconomics are (1) to introduce economic concepts and analysis, and (2) to show you how to apply principles of economics to everyday concepts and public policies.  Economics is everywhere. After this class, you should not only be able to better understand the public policy debates and business decisions you read about in the media, like the economic impact of climate change or Medicare For All, but will also be able to make more informed decisions in your daily life, whether it is about choosing a job, amount and types of health care, or more education.
