About Us

SC Economics is a non-profit business-education partnership dedicated to providing teachers with continuing education in economics and personal finance. SC Economics was established in 1975 to help ensure that all South Carolina students leave high school with a sound foundation in economic principles, an understanding of our economy and how it works, and a strong appreciation for the American free enterprise system.

SC Economics' mission is to make South Carolina a better place to live by advocating for and ensuring that K-12 teachers are well-prepared to educate and empower South Carolina's youth with economic education and financial literacy.

SC Economics' offices are located at the Moore School of Business, University of South Carolina in Columbia. SC Economics and its six Centers for Economic Education are affiliated with the national Council for Economic Education.
