ECON 3000 CHALLENGES OF GLOBAL POVERTY

This course offers a radical rethinking of the economics of poverty in both the Global South and the Global North. It shows how economics, when done right, can help comprehensive insight on poverty around the globe through the semester-long reading and writing intensive course. Conducting research on poverty issues preconditions students for graduate schools, and prepares them to be self-directed and creative for governmental, NGOs, and not-for-profit jobs, as well as being a responsible global citizen. It is a signature course in Economics program.
