EC 480 - Labor Economics (3.00 cr.)
Individuals make decisions on how much to work, where to work, and how to utilize the earnings from their labor. Firms develop compensation systems and make hiring decisions to efficiently extract the most from their workers, and governments make decisions on what policies are required to regulate the labor market. At a micro level, these decisions determine a family's financial resources, whether college is a good investment, and whether women face wage discrimination. At a macro level, these decisions determine the level of poverty, inequality, unemployment, and the generosity of the social safety net. This course introduces students to economic analysis of these decisions, their outcomes, and how they relate to issues of social justice. Topics include wage determination and structure, human capital theory and returns to education, unemployment and search theory, unions, immigration, minimum wage, and social assistance programs. Students delve deeper into a specific area by conducting original research on a topic they develop in conjunction with the professor.

ED 495 - Improving Access to the General Curriculum for All Learners (3.00 cr.)
Designed to provide the knowledge and skills necessary to increase equity in the classroom by improving access to the general education curriculum for students with learning disabilities. First, students gain foundational knowledge of the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles as well as the brain research which guides it. Implementation and lesson planning are highlighted. Students examine a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) and learn how to conduct one. They then use an FBA to create a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) and learn how to use data to assess its effectiveness. Lastly, students identify how to select and use Assistive Technology (AT) in the classroom to enable students with disabilities to become independent learners and gain deeper access to the curriculum.
