Online United States Government and Economics

Course Description

In the first part of the United States Government and Economics (College Prep) course, you'll examine the historical forces that influenced the English and, later, American governments and the forms of government created. You'll also investigate the way the government functions and learn about the US Constitution. The final part of the course centers on citizenship and the election process.

In the second part of the course, you’ll explore economics; the study of human choices in the face of limited resources. The course covers basic market concepts such as scarcity, supply and demand, government regulation, and trade. You’ll learn useful life skills in the personal finance section of the course. You’ll examine modern issues in economics such as poverty, modern farming, and the complicated problems faced by modern cities.

Students are given an opportunity to identify core concepts through the reading material and then apply that knowledge in review activities. Comprehension will be assessed through formative activities and multiple-choice exams.
