Requirements for Admission
Participants generally hold an MA degree or its equivalent in economics or a related discipline. Experience in economic policy analysis at the mid-career level may be an adequate substitute. Participants should have basic computer spreadsheet skills and be able to work effectively in English.
Location & Accommodations
Known for its leading edge, high-tech facilities and internationally recognized programs, Brandeis University is a perfect setting for the exchange of ideas and networking.
While most sessions will take place this year at Brandeis' recently built Lemberg Center, visits to major financial and academic institutions are planned. In the past, classes have been held at the Boston Federal Reserve, State Street Corporation, a leader in the investment management and investment services industry, and Harvard University.
Accommodations will be provided in spacious suites in a comfortable local hotel with high-speed, wireless computer connections.
Registration and Fees
Registration for each full two-week program, including tuition, accommodations for 13 nights, all course materials, use of laptop computers, several group meals, organized recreation activities, use of campus athletic and library facilities and temporary health insurance, is $7,950.
The cost for the full Brandeis 2006 Economic Policy Series, including both the Macroeconomics and "Integrating Into the Global Marketplace" Programs, is $14,000 per person (a savings of nearly $2,000).
Participants must pay for their own travel to and from Boston, most dinners and normal incidental expenses such as taxi fares, laundry, telephones calls, and the cost of shipping materials
home.

“I was very impressed with the valuable information I learned on poverty reduction and alleviation strategies, which is quite relevant to my job in Jordan as Secretary General for the Commission on Macroeconomics and Health. The ability to share experiences and knowledge with other attendees was priceless.”
