# Summer School ## expand\_more **If you have any questions about Summer School, please ask an** [**Economics Concentration Advisor**](/advising) **or email** . Ordinarily, students can count ***only one*** non-Harvard-term-time course towards their economics concentration or economics secondary field requirements. This includes approved [Harvard Summer School](http://www.summer.harvard.edu/) economics courses (below), approved [study abroad economics courses](https://hwpi.harvard.edu/econ/study-abroad), and approved cross-registered economics courses at MIT. Due to COVID-19, Ec concentrators (and secondary field students) in the **Classes of 2021, 2022, and 2023** had the option to take up to four Harvard Summer School courses for ec concentration (or secondary field) credit, subject to several rules. Details [here](https://economics.harvard.edu/COVID19undergrad). As of 2009, summer school course grades do not enter your Economics GPA (used for Department honors calculations). **NOTE: Summer school courses must receive Harvard College credit** in order to be considered for Ec concentration or secondary field credit. Please read all details [here](https://summer.harvard.edu/harvard-college-student-overview/). ### **Economics Concentration Credit for Harvard Summer School 2026** - ECON S-10AB: Principles of Economics will count as ECON 10A and ECON 10B - ECON S-10A: Principles of Economics: Microeconomics will count as ECON10A - ECON S-10B: Principles of Economics: Macroeconomics will count as ECON 10B - ECON S-1012: Macroeconomic Theory will count as ECON 1010B - ECON S-1123: Introduction to Econometrics will count as ECON 1123 - STAT S-100: Introduction to Quantitative Methods will fulfill the statistics requirement for the economics concentration. - MATH S-1A: Calculus I - MATH S-1B: Calculus II - MATH S-21A: Multivariable Calculus *(note: the Math courses do not count towards Ec Secondary Field requirements)* The following economics elective courses can also count towards Ec concentration and secondary requirements. None of these courses fulfill the "intermediate theory as prerequisite" requirement. If you write a 15+ page economics research paper in any of the courses below, you can bring your graded paper to an [Ec Advisor](http://economics.harvard.edu/advising) and have it evaluated for "writing requirement credit." You will need to consult the course syllabi and/or the faculty to find out if a paper will be required or accepted. - ECON S-190: Introduction to Financial and Managerial Economics, Prof. Ulusoy (counts starting Summer 2026) - ECON S-1016: Labor Economics, Prof. Bruich - ECON S-1040: Strategy, Conflict and Cooperation, Prof. Neugeboren - ECON S-1317: The Economics of Emerging Markets, Prof. Sergi - ECON S-1412: Public Finance, Prof. Shoag - ECON S-1452: Money, Financial Institutions, and Markets, Prof. Watson - ECON S-1814: Urban Economics, Prof. Shoag - ECON S-1915: Neuroinvesting, Prof. Martelli **IMPORTANT**: All other economics courses offered at Harvard Summer School will not count for Ec concentration or Secondary Field credit, elective or otherwise.
