MFRE Summer Program: Building the Foundation for Graduate Studies

The MFRE Summer Program prepares incoming students for graduate studies through intensive training in microeconomics, mathematics, statistics and data analytics. Students refresh essential academic concepts, develop practical skills using Excel, R and Python, and participate in workshops that introduce the professional expectations of the MFRE program.

The MFRE Summer Program is comprised of four components:

  • MFRE Microeconomics Foundations Course: This intensive course, which is taught by FRE faculty members, provides a refresher of the theory and models which are most highly connected to the Term 1 course.

  • MFRE Math and Statistics Refresher: This intensive course provides a refresher of the math/stats fundamentals most relevant to the MFRE courses and provides ongoing opportunities to practice applying these via a set of case studies.

  • MFRE Data Bootcamp: The summer boot camp covers data access/visualization and coding for economic analysis using R and Python as these are the main programming languages used in the MFRE program. In addition, the Advanced Excel Bootcamp presents financial worksheet development, formatting, and advanced commands/functions.

  • Capstone: This event will allow students to synthesize and demonstrate the skills they have gained during the MFRE Summer Program, especially as they relate to practical applications of economics, math/stats, and software skills. Equally important, students will participate in sector-specific discussion panels and learn aspects of professionalism, networking, and time management.
