Correspondence Courses in Economics
A variety of schools offer correspondence courses in economics; some offer degrees. It's important to distinguish between "business" or "managerial economics" and traditional economics theory courses. Economics coursework often divides economics. Economic theory is primarily in the school of social sciences and managerial economics is in the business school. Curriculum, coursework and degrees are available in both.
