This online course consists of two separate semesters and is designed as self-paced as a textbook replacement for teacher-led instruction. The course is offered at MLWGS as two separate semester courses, each worth \u00bd credit. The grade follows a standard 10-point scale and does count toward GPA calculations. This course is a requirement for graduation and both semesters must be completed before the end of the junior year for MLWGS students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2026: Online Summer Course Dates<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>2026 Online Summer Economics June <\/strong>4 \u2013 June 26, 2026, with final exam that must be taken synchronously either during the early option on June 24th at 9 am or the regular time on June 26th at 9 am.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>2026 Online Summer Personal Finance July <\/strong>6 \u2013 July 27, 2026, with final exam that must be taken synchronously either during the early option on July 24th at 9 am or the regular time on July 27th at 9 am.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Economics and Personal Finance Summer <a href=\"https:\/\/mlwgs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Updated-Economics-and-Personal-Finance-Summer-FAQ.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FAQs<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Online Economics and Personal Finance Course Description Offered online during the academic year and online during the summer.
