The Associate in Arts in Economics for Transfer Degree (AA-T) has been established to assist students in seamlessly transferring from Gavilan College to a California State University (CSU), with the objective of pursuing a baccalaureate degree in economics. The AA-T therefore necessarily requires the completion of a general education sequence of courses, as well as specific preparation for upper division economics coursework.

**Learning Outcome(s):**

1.  Identify and discuss causes of long-run economic growth and short term business cycle fluctuations in growth (e.g. recessions and expansions), and policy responses and initiatives affecting each.
2.  Apply marginal analysis to resource allocation decisions in a variety of settings, including but not limited to: profit maximization strategies for firms in various competitive environments, and utility maximization strategies for consumers with budget constraints.
