Economics Policy Academy

Hoya Summer High School Information Session Webinar

Wednesday, Nov. 19, 4–5 p.m. ET

This information session will review our three programs: Non-Credit Academies, College Prep, and Summer College. We want to ensure that our prospective students are confident in their choice while planning their summer at Georgetown. We will provide an overview of each program and its respective application processes.

Georgetown's Economics Policy Academy provides an interdisciplinary exploration of the complex role played by states and other governing entities about markets through the lens of both economics and political science. You will study theoretical concepts from both fields and practice applying them to real-world problems—both in the U.S. and abroad—to assess situations and evaluate policy solutions. By the end of the program, you will have a deeper understanding of not only the key philosophical and theoretical concepts behind an economic policy that affects all facets of our life, such as price interventions and regulations, but also the main issues the U.S. economy faces today.

Program Format & Subject Areas

As a student in the Economics Policy Academy, you will spend your time engaged in a combination of class sessions, field trips, hands-on workshops, group discussions, and extracurricular activities. Throughout the program, you will have the opportunity to explore a number of subject areas, including:

• Globalization
• Basic microeconomics
• Poverty and inequality
• The welfare state
• Development economics
• International negotiations and trade policy
• Development and institutional change
• Behavioral economics and public policy
• Fiscal and monetary policy in the U.S.
• Foreign aid
• The economics of conflict

In the Economics Policy Academy, you'll attend academic programming between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. during the weekdays, which will include lectures, guest speakers, hands-on activities, group discussions, and off-site visits. At the end of the day, you'll have opportunities to participate in optional cocurricular events, free time, and residential living activities until curfew.
