Students seeking an Option in Economics for Teachers will gain graduate-level
subject matter knowledge in economics, helpful for teaching high College
economics and related courses. Individuals must hold a clear (nonemergency)
teaching credential to be admitted to this option.
The Option differs from other options in the MA in Economics programs in that
it allows more flexibility in choosing elective courses, it may be completed
without a background in calculus, and the terminal exercise involves developing
a project relevant to teaching economics. This option is designed for K-12
teachers and not those seeking a community college teaching credential.
Prerequisite Courses Students must have a course (each) in
Principles of Microeconomics and Principles of Macroeconomics, College Algebra,
and Statistics. We list below the CSUH courses that would satisfy the
prerequisites, although equivalent courses can be found at most colleges.
