This coming summer, the economics department's course offerings will once again include an economics elective in Istanbul, Turkey and Berlin, Germany. The course, ECON3388: Economic Policy Analysis in Turbulent Times: Europe and Turkey is offered through the university's Office of International Programs (OIP). It is cross-listed as INTL3388 for students in the International Studies program, and is an approved elective for the A&S interdisciplinary minor in Islamic Cultures and Civilizations. The four-credit-hour seminar will be held June 5-29, starting in Istanbul and ending in Berlin, and will feature presentations by economic researchers combined with lectures on economic policy analysis, as well as numerous cultural events in both cities. The course will be co-taught by Prof. Christopher F Baum and Assoc. Prof. of the Practice Can Erbil. Profs. Baum and Erbil offered this course for the first time in summer 2014. Interested students should contact the OIP as soon as possible, as the OIP Summer Seminars operate on a rolling admission basis.
