My son and I researched Economics for Leaders late last year and from what we were able to conform it is a very solid and well respected program. They invite students who have demonstrated leadership ability (often referred by a previous selective leadership program - like HOBY) to apply for one week of Intensive Economics Instruction at one of 10 wonderful colleges. They charge a small site fee but essentially all expenses are covered by the Foundation for Teaching Economics. As I recall only about 400 students nationwide are selected for the Economics for Leaders program each summer. Some students preferred Tufts, or UC Berkeley, but I think the College of Wooster sounds ideal. MY Son requested the College of Wooster location and will be traveling from NC to attend the June 15-22nd session.
