Summer Course Programs in Economic Policy

Students enrolling in a summer course should expect a condensed format. These courses are typically offered over the period of two to 14 weeks.

What is a summer course in economic policy? There are various concerns in the realm of economic policy that might be encountered as the focus of such a course. Chief among these are policy development and management. Economic policy development tends to be analytical: This focus is characterized by discussions of quantitative analysis methods, developing economies and advanced mathematics. Policy management courses typically focus on macroeconomics, ethics, social investment and finance. One might encounter a general discussion of all of these topics or a focused class on a single aspect of economic policy, depending on the learning goals of the summer course in question.

Students should expect to leave one of these courses with the policy-making skills necessary to affect global markets. The demanding schedule of summer classes might also help refine study skills and personal organization, leading to success in many aspects of life.

Economic policy courses in condensed formats offered in the summer term often carry a similar cost to classes during the school year, but they can vary between schools. Inquire with your institution as to the tuition per credit hour.

Economic policy might be of particular interest to individuals intending to enter the public sector. Government offices or divisions that deal with trade often employ economists, compliance officers, regulatory analysts and research scientists to perform analytical and advisory tasks. These positions typically require a functional knowledge of international trade environments, research skills, competence in mathematical analysis techniques and the ability to communicate effectively. The primary responsibility of this position is often to assist in the development of policy positions.
