Course Periodicity

The Prerequisite Math for Economists course is offered every semester.

The four required Core courses are offered every semester in multiple sections. One section of each Core course is intended to be offered each semester on-line. So far, we have an on-line section for Microeconomics and Macroeconomics in Summer, Microeconomics and Statistics in Fall, and all four Core courses in Spring.

Electives are intended to be offered according to the following schedule:

Summer Semesters	Fall Semesters	Spring Semesters
	Monetary Economics	Topics in Macroeconomics
Game Theory
	Financial Economics	Financial Economics
	International Trade (Open-Economy Micro)	International Finance (Open-Economy Macro)
	Growth & Development
Environmental & Resource Economics	Public Eonomics: Taxation	Public Economics: Expenditure Programs & Social Regulation
Health Economics	Public Eonomics: Taxation	Public Economics: Expenditure Programs & Social Regulation
	Economics of Industry & Public Policy	Law & Economics
		Economics of Labor
Cost-Benefit Analysis (on-line)	Cost-Benefit Analysis	Cost-Benefit Analysis
Microeconometrics	Microeconometrics	Microeconometrics (one of two sections on-line)
Macroeconometrics	Macroeconometrics (one section on-line from Fall '10)	Macroeconometrics
Macro Forecasting (on-line)		Macro Forecasting
Additional Electives	Additional Electives	Additional Electives
Independent Research	Independent Research	Independent Research

Fulfillment of this plan cannot be guaranteed, but in recent years, plans have been overfulfilled. In case a course cannot be offered in the semester indicated, except for underenrollment, every effort will be made to offer it in the immediately following semester. Occasionally, a course is offered a semester early.

"Additional Electives" include Political Economy, and Financial Intermediation & Financial Markets and Financial Econometrics, which have been offered acyclically.

Up to eight credits [the equivalent of two of our courses] at other Hopkins Programs will be approved if they are not substitutes for our own courses, but rather, are clear complements to your economic studies. If the instructor of the complementary course is a Ph.D. Economist, this is sufficient for approval.
