Course Materials

One of the distinct challenges of teaching a new course on capitalism is designing an approach that works.

Professors from various BB&T-sponsored programs have contributed syllabuses from courses that they have taught at their universities. Each of these courses approaches the topic of capitalism from a unique perspective—from political theory to economics, from ethics to history. Each course is listed by title with the field in which it was offered in parentheses.
