A Survey of Chicago Economics

Undergraduate / Graduate

This two-week program will provide an introduction to UChicago-style, rigorous economics education; it is open only to approved visiting third-year students from Universidad Panamericana. Led by a team of full-time lecturers from the Department of Economics, this course will explore topics in four foundational areas: price theory, game theory, experimental economics, and macroeconomics. Participants will also develop skills that will prepare them for further graduate study or other professional pursuits, such as interviewing, networking, and academic and professional communications. Evening and weekend residential program activities will enable students to experience American life and culture and explore the vibrant city of Chicago. Throughout the program, students will have the opportunity to practice both academic and informal spoken English.
