Per WGU's published description, D089 introduces foundational economic theories on markets and market behavior, valuable for careers involving decision making in any industry. The course has three competencies: The Economic Way of Thinking, Microeconomics, and Macroeconomics. The first defines economics and introduces fundamental economic principles. Microeconomics develops the supply and demand model and demonstrates how it is used to understand business interactions and to make public policy decisions, covering supply, demand, elasticity, efficiency, market failure, costs, production, and market structure. Macroeconomics focuses on the measurement and performance of the nation's economy: macroeconomic variables, aggregate supply, aggregate demand, money, monetary policy, fiscal policy, and international trade.
Eleven bachelor's programs carry it, all in the middle or back half of the degree: term 5 for supply chain, term 6 for IT management, healthcare administration, and marketing, term 7 for accounting, business management, and finance, term 8 for communications, human resource management, and user experience design, and term 10 for project management. By the time it arrives, students are deep into their major, and the return to graphs and models is the stall. Message us the code and where you stand, and we quote a flat price in writing.
