Where We are Wednesday – UC Berkeley

January 11, 2017

Where We are Wednesday…

The University of California, Berkeley! Home of the blue and gold Oski bears (blue for the California sky) gold (for the golden state). Founded in 1868 as the university that would “contribute even more than California’s gold to the glory and happiness of advancing generations”, this vibrant college town is a great place to spend a week and learn Economics.

Berkeley rankings:

According to US News and World Report , UC Berkeley ranks as

#1 Public School in the country

#20 for all National Universities

#2 for its Business program

Due to popular demand, we will be hosting two Economics for Leaders programs at Berkeley this summer – get your application in early to secure your spot!

 DATES: June 26th-July 2nd  &  July 3rd-July 9th  (APPLY HERE)
