Earth Systems
Earth Systems explores planet Earth as a set of interacting spheres — geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere — examining plate tectonics in depth, geochemical cycles, geological time, atmospheric circulation, ocean dynamics, Earth's energy budget, and the human-accelerated disruptions now rewriting these systems.
Economics Macroeconomics
Macroeconomics examines the economy as a whole, covering GDP measurement, unemployment, inflation, the aggregate demand and supply model, fiscal policy, monetary policy and the Federal Reserve, business cycles, economic growth, and international trade and exchange rates.
Economics Microeconomics
Microeconomics examines how individuals, firms, and markets make decisions under scarcity, covering supply and demand, cost and production theory, market structures from perfect competition to monopoly, game theory, labor markets, and market failures including externalities and public goods.
English Grammar and Writing Mechanics
