The Economist Academic Program

Why a special “academic” program?

Professors and students share one objective—to learn as much as they can, every day. We firmly believe that The Economist can help them do that.

The Economist looks at the entire world, not just the major powers. It presents carefully researched reports and scrupulously reasoned arguments on a wide range of subjects—from U.S. policy in the Middle East, to political reforms in Poland, to issues faced by farmers in central China. With just enough irreverent commentary and witty asides to keep things interesting. And that can serve as great fodder for challenging written assignments and lively classroom debates.
