The purpose of this course is to present intermediate level microeconomic theory. Primarily we will focus on consumer demand theory and economics of production. Both graphical and mathematical approaches will be presented. This course provides the background necessary for more advanced courses in the department.

This is a stand-alone independent study designed by the student and faculty sponsor that involves frequent interaction between instructor and student. Qualitative and quantitative enrichment must be evident on the proposed contract before consent is given to undertake the study.

Students work in a team-based learning environment to develop understanding of contemporary computing tools and concepts and the higher-order skills necessary to design and develop information systems that serve the interests of an organization. Topics include data analysis and modeling using MS Excel spreadsheets and relational data management using MS Access and an introduction to SAS analytics software. Students are evaluated through a variety of means: group projects, individual homework, in class team-based exercises, informal reflections, peer evaluations, and exams.

Explores the causes of hunger (chronic undernutrition) from an economic perspective. Focus on how population growth and economic development are increasing demand for food and on the prospects for food production to supply those needs at affordable prices, while sustaining the environment. Discussion in the context of the global economy in which increased trade links even the poorest urban and rural residents in developing countries to market forces. (Gen.Ed. SB, G)
