Home Economist

Home economics archives. Different kind of economics from the ones I’ve been looking at.

The cost of classes at Harvard Extension seems to obey interesting rules. The more you want to get from it, the more you have to pay, certainly: to take it for no credit, it’s three or four hundred. For credit, perhaps five. Writing intensive courses are seven hundred, enrollment limited (more labor-intensive as well, thus more expensive). And the business school classes are always part of a degree or certificate program, and cost a minimum of $1200, pointing out their extra economic value, or something.

I’d like to know more about economics, but that would require more math than I’m willing to suffer. I suppose there’s always business school, which would have the additional advantage of shocking and horrifying my parents.
