Economics Economics can be defined in a few different ways. It’s the study of scarcity, the study of how people use resources and respond to incentives, or the study of decision-making. It often involves topics like wealth and finance, but it’s not all about money. Economics is a broad discipline that helps us understand historical trends, interpret today’s headlines, and make predictions about the coming years. Economics ranges from the very small to the very large. The study of individual decisions is called microeconomics. The study of the economy as a whole is called macroeconomics. A microeconomist might focus on families’ medical debt, whereas a macroeconomist might focus on sovereign debt.

School of Business Student “I strategically chose the one-year certification in Accounting at CBC wanting to learn more about business, taxes and how business accounting works. Through the Business program, I've not only received a great education, but also found a sense of belonging in the DECA club. What I thought would be a one and done participation for extra credit turned into scoring second place at the state DECA competition, competing at nationals and taking a leadership role as President of the club!
