Economics: associate degree records.

Research this field and level

Official classification: Economics, General.

A general program that focuses on the systematic study of the production, conservation and allocation of resources in conditions of scarcity, together with the organizational frameworks related to these processes. Includes instruction in economic theory, micro- and macroeconomics, comparative economic systems, money and banking systems, international economics, quantitative analytical methods, and applications to specific industries and public policy issues.

Check the institution’s balance of economic theory, mathematics, statistics and applied work. Business, finance and specialized economics fields may use other classifications.

Confirm whether the institution’s actual degree meets your goal and whether a destination accepts its credits. An associate award does not prove a transfer agreement or coverage of another institution’s bachelor requirements.
