This year's Financial Markets Seminar trip will start on Sunday, May 6th and return on Saturday, May 12th, 2001. We are now collecting information from interested students. Please click the Request Form Link to the left. When Students register, they will need to register for the Wall Street Seminar. Winthrop schedules a variety of lectures and tours in Washington and New York.
Students receive three credit hours for the class.
Each student is required to attend all the lectures and economic briefings and write a comprehensive paper on a related topic. The paper must be research based and include information obtained on the seminar trip. In Washington, DC, economic theory, politics, and power come together to fashion public policy. During the two days in Washington, students have an opportunity to learn how these forces interact and influence national and international financial markets. Through on-site presentations and discussions, students are able to ask questions and learn from the people who actually help shape national policy.
