Online Economics Courses?

[julst]

Hi all,

 

I am an international student and was admitted to both GW's Global Communication MA and the MSFS. Both require me to take introduction to Micro- and Macro-Economics courses (3 credit).

 

Unfortunately, there are no applicable courses in Vienna - Do any of you know how to fulfill the requirements through an online course?

 

I got the news from Elliott yesterday - my admission letter didn't say anything about economics, so I'm kind of desperately looking for options right now ;-)

 

Thanks for your help!

From what I've understood, this requirement may be fulfilled by attending the 3-weeks overview on economics that Elliott offers in August. You should call them to make sure though.

Yea- email them and ask. I'm also going to have to take online economics courses before August, and a couple of the schools I'm considering said they would be happy to send me a list of free, online courses I could take.

I was going to recommend ucla online extension but their econ courses for spring quarter are closed. Take a look at berkeley's extension courses. They're pretty flexible in terms of how long it takes for you to complete the courses.

I called Elliott's Admission's Office today. A combined micro- and macro-course (which I'll take in Austria) and the three-week course at Elliott will be enough!

I found the University of Phoenix - but I didn't check the dates nor costs yet...

 

I'm still leaning towards GWU, so maybe we'll see eachother in August ;-)

Nice! Even though I've already completed the economics requirements, I'm planning on attending the review courses, so I'll see you there
