Summary:
University of California Admissions' Office has requested that we change our current AP Economics (Macro/Micro) into two separate courses with separate course titles and course numbers. As a result the necessary changes were made to separate this course into two separate courses. One of these courses will now be called AP Microeconomics.
The AP course in Microeconomics gives students an understanding of the principles of economics that apply to the functions of individual decision makers, both consumers and producers, within the larger economic system. It places primary emphasis on the nature and functions of product markets, and includes the study of factor markets and the role of government in promoting greater efficiency and equity in the economy.
