Expanding Diversity in Economics: A UChicago Summer Institute Posted: 22 Feb 2021 01:23 PM PST
The Becker Friedman Institute for Economics (BFI) at the University of Chicago has launched a first-of-its-kind, three-week Summer Institute, Expanding Diversity in Economics, designed to attract extraordinary students from colleges and universities around the country who would not otherwise consider studying economics. The goal is to diversify the pool of undergraduate students majoring in economics, who may go on to a graduate program of study or a career drawing on this important set of skills. Each year, BFI will accept up to 40 participants to the Summer Institute, who will engage in daily lectures and skill-building coursework as well as other activities to promote networking. The program is open to undergraduate students age 18 and older from accredited institutions. There are no program fees and participants will be given a stipend to support their active engagement in the Summer Institute. Participants will be exposed to a range of economic topics taught by a broad group of economists from the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, Kenneth C. Griffin Department of Economics, and the Harris School of Public Policy, in addition to high-profile outside guests. The Summer Institute will also promote a mentoring network, linking participants with faculty for guidance and support, and providing opportunities for ongoing research experience during the academic year.
The deadline for applications is March 14, 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and public safety concerns, the 2021 Summer Institute will be held virtually. For more information and to apply visit: bfi.uchicago.edu/summer- |
