“Summer 2020 will present college students with unique opportunities to fast-track their education, advance in their major fields of study, or take one of those electives they never had time to schedule,” -President Jennifer J. Raab, April 16, 2020.
What are your plans for Summer 2020? Have you ever considered:
1. taking a class that you’ve always wanted but never “had time for”?
2. enrolling in a class that would help you “get ahead” for graduation?, or
3. re-taking a class you had to drop in the past?
Well, Summer 2020 is the best time to take a course, for whatever reason!
And, since these course are FULLY ONLINE, you don’t even need to leave your home!
This summer, we, the Hunter Department of Economics and Accounting, are offering the following six new courses (with the full listing below the description):

Description: If you ask any economist, they will insist that economics is everywhere in our lives, and it is very useful for understand how and why people do what they do. Narrative film does something similar. It focuses a microscope on our behavior and allows us to see the human condition in a new light. This course uses films from all over the world as examples of human behavior to illustrate foundational economic concepts such as trade-offs made under scarcity. This course is intended for economics majors to better appreciate the humanistic side of their discipline and for artists and others to find a way into a powerful tool for solving social problems. Professor Ty Turley, a PhD economist and filmmaker, will teach this course.

Students will learn how inequality is related to gender, race, labor supply, and intergenerational mobility. Students will discuss ways in which income inequality can be reduced. This course is intended for economics majors to understand current research in the economics on inequality but students in public policy and other disciplines will find it useful as well. Professor Ty Turley, a PhD economist and filmmaker, will teach this course.
