AP® Macroeconomics introduces students to major economic issues such as basic market analysis, the causes of the cycle of economic growth and recession, the problems of inflation and unemployment, the causes and consequences of federal budget deficits, and the causes and effects of international trade imbalances and currency fluctuations. Students analyze the impact of fiscal and monetary policies as well as the debates surrounding the implementation of each. This course involves extensive reading, problem-solving exercises, online discussions, and researching and writing about contemporary macroeconomic issues. Multiple modalities are employed for content presentation so as to encourage personalization, and assessment evaluates each student’s ability to utilize skill sets related to economic decision making. Strong reading, algebra, and analytical skills are necessary for success in the course, as is strong motivation. AP® Macroeconomics develops informed, thoughtful, and globally-minded students, and the course thoroughly prepares students to take the AP® Macroeconomics Exam in the spring. This course is recommended for 11th and 12th graders.

"I feel like I've definitely taken quite a bit away from this semester of macroeconomics, both directly from the course content and its application in classwork, and in terms of the things I hear or learn about the economy in the world at large."
