ELIGIBILITY

LOCATION

Cambridge, England

Founded in 1983, the Economics Seminar in Cambridge has been located at the University of Cambridge for over 20 years. The University has been home to many of great economic theorists including Alfred Marshall, John Maynard Keynes, and F.A. Hayek. Being in Britain allows students to study the contemporary British economy, the European Union and the Industrial Revolution. The program has become a popular part of the economics curriculum at Carleton, and the faculty believes the seminar’s historical focus and exposure to British culture help students see themselves, their country, and the world with new perspective.
