Courses returning to the 24-25 Schedule
Learn about Econ 333 and 340
Our department now offers Econ 333 Managerial Economics and Econ 340 Economics in Movies. Last year we asked students what courses they would like to see return to the schedule, Economics in Movies won by a landslide.
Our department brought back Managerial Economics as an alternative for Econ 310 for Business Economics majors. This course is based on the real-world application of managerial analysis for decision-making and planning.
Econ 333 will be offered in the Fall with Dr. Ahmad Saboori and Econ 340 will be offered in the Spring with Dr. Steve Yamarik.
