Welcome to the “virtual tour” of business and the economy in Ohio. This program is designed and offered as a professional development course for Ohio educators.  In the comfort of your classroom or home, on your own time, you can explore the Ohio economy, learn about Ohio industries and products, and find ways to help your students better understand the economy where they live and may someday find a career.  The course is conducted by the Economics Center for Education & Research, College of Business, University of Cincinnati.

Glossary of terms

 
A NOTE ABOUT GRADUATE CREDIT HOURS: A "quarter hour" is one credit hour in a "quarter system."  Colleges and universities use either "quarter" or "semester" hours.  Three quarter hours is equal to two semester hours.  If your professional development requirements is six semester hours, you can satisfy that requirement with nine quarter hours.  Two semester hours or three quarter hours require approximately the same amount of class or project time.
