Online Economics Review Programs

Online Economics Review Programs

The Institute for International Economic Policy (IIEP) offers self-paced and self-guided online micro- and macroeconomics principles review programs as well as intermediate micro- and macroeconomic theory review programs. These programs are designed ONLY for someone with an economics background. The material includes recorded lectures, reading assignments, as well as problem sets and answer keys.

The programs below can provide invaluable review of economics that is required for mandatory graduate economics classes at the Elliot school. These programs are especially appropriate for those whose scores on the IIEP economics assesments evaluation suggest the need for concerted review of economics principles.

Students who have been alerted by the Elliott School Admissions Office that they must take a full introductory course in either micro- or macroeconomics or both should go here.

Student reviews:

“Without question, the lessons and material prepared me for international economics…I would certainly recommend to all future Elliott Students.”  

“Overall the program was very well done… I was able to easily adapt the course to my schedule and encountered no issues with taking the course while in China.”

“The program was easy to access, helpful in learning the material, and most convenient for incoming Elliott students. I liked the videos because I could pause and replay certain sections that I had trouble understanding.”
