AP Microeconomics & AP Macroeconomics
We bring economics to life through real-world case studies, interactive graphs, charts, and data analysis helping students not only understand but also explain and apply core principles.
In AP Microeconomics, the focus is on individual decision-making within an economic system, while AP Macroeconomics zooms out to explore how entire economies function on a national and global scale.
