ECON 199 - Honors Summer Seminar for High School Students

2 Credits

Description
This Summer Honors course allows students to pick topics from many economic and political issues in the news for university-level exploration. In the first few meetings basic economic principles and models are discussed so that policy issues can be explored on a firm foundation. Issues are elected by the students but are likely to include Welfare, Medicare and Medicaid, the budget deficit, and the national debt. Emphasis is on the application of economic principles to these issues, with the majority of the time being devoted to student exploration of the issues using Internet searches and class discussion.

Note
Open to high school students on the completion of their junior year by application only.
