Course Description
This online course offered by the University of Mississippi in cooperation with the Umbra Institute and is designed to provide an introductory overview of microeconomics. Note: This course carries a supplemental program fee.

Included in this course are such topics as economic decision making by the household, and by business firms under varying degrees of competition. The study tends to be market-oriented because its focus is upon the operation of free enterprise market economies of the type found in the United States and other modern economies. While the private domestic economy made up of households and business firms is the focal point of the study, the role of governmental finance and spending and the global economy are also integral parts of the course.

Course Objectives (include but are not limited to):

  • receive a general introduction to the American enterprise economy

  • analyze decision making by both consumers and producers and to the role of price in formulating economic decisions

  • understand the role of price in formulating economic decisions

  • become familiar with several models of market structure

  • introduce the operation of resource markets, which determine both the allocation of resources and the distribution of income
