Applications for the Hoya Summer High School Sessions are closed, but you can still explore your academic passions with the Pre-College Online Program. Study anywhere, anytime, on your schedule.
Georgetown's Economics Policy Academy provides an interdisciplinary exploration of the complex role played by states and other governing entities in relation to 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 the 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 which affect all facets of our life, such as price interventions and regulations, but also the main issues the U.S. economy faces today.

The program offers so much–from the off-site visits to the daily lectures and the on campus activities. The lectures were interesting, meeting new people was great and the off-site visits were interactive and intriguing.
