Economics
About the Program
The Associate in Arts in Economics for Transfer (AA-T) degree meets the lower division course requirements necessary for the California State University (CSU) system. Economics is the study of how people choose to use scarce resources to produce goods and services and how they make allocation decisions to satisfy their wants. In pursuing the Associate in Arts in Economics for Transfer degree, students acquire skills in analyzing problems using sound reasoning to make decisions. Students majoring in economics develop critical thinking, problem solving, and written and verbal communication skills. As economic majors, students have learning opportunities that are relevant to many types of careers, including public policy, government agencies and government related organizations (for example, the Federal Reserve System and the Bureau of Labor Statistics), business, data analysis, accounting and education.
