For the Fall 2005 semester, two lab courses, ECON 2A and ECON 2B will be offered. These are 1 unit, credit/no credit online labs. They are designed for economics majors who need to make-up a missing unit and for other students who need to a quick refresher in economics. The labs are also available to transfer students who have 3 semester-unit Macroeconomics and Microeconomics courses at other colleges and universities.
