COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The integration of Personal Finance and Economics and Government Public Administration: Local and State Issues presents unique insight into the ways economic thinking permeates our lives in multiple layers. Just as individuals and households deal with issues like scarcity, opportunity costs, taxes, regulations, budgets, government oversight, and finances, among others – so do local and state public policy agencies. Students apply guiding economic concepts to public policy at the local and state levels and then to individuals and households through personal finance. Students also practice creating arguments and presenting research, relying on their fundamental background in economics and the CTAE employability skills to make presentations richer in content and more realistic.
