American Business & Business Persons and ECON 420, Environmental Economics. |

the UNK Academic Program Review. The Department is investigating the creation of a new

Student knowledge and competencies in applying economic theory and gathering and
interpreting economic data were evaluated by the instructors. No major changes in program

within students an appreciation for scholarly activities and basic competencies in
economic research techniques in both principles and intermediate principles courses. |
