Description:

Microeconomics is an 18-week Advanced Placement course and is the equivalent of an introductory, one-semester, college-level Microeconomics course. Students investigate the behavior of individuals and businesses as they exchange goods and services in the marketplace. Students will learn why the same product costs different amounts at different stores, in different cities, and at different times. They’ll also learn to spot patterns in economic behavior and how to use those patterns to explain buyer and seller behavior under different economic conditions. The equivalent of an introductory college level course, AP Microeconomics prepares students for the AP Exam and for further study in business, history, and political science. This course may be offered as an elective to students in grades 11 and 12 only.
