Economics

Learn the models and theoretical fundamentals of economics along with in-demand skills that can be applied to a variety of professional fields. Our program, which satisfies the first two years of a four-year program, is geared toward students interested in pursuing a liberal arts degree in economics from a university.

Students at any Maricopa Community College may need to complete courses at more than one of our colleges.

 

Why Phoenix College?

Phoenix College offers two pathways into the study of Economics. Students taking macroeconomic principles analyze the functionality of the United States economy, covering income, employment, inflation, fiscal policies, and more. Students enrolled in microeconomic principles study consumerism, price setting, government regulation, and the structure of the free market.

While our economics courses do not lead to any particular degree at Phoenix College, these classes often fulfill certificate and degree requirements. Professionals in economics often work in the world of public finance and international trade, or as a private consultant for hire.
