Where to study Austrian Economics?

Hi,

I'm new to this forum, but have been reading on my own about Austrian Economic theory for about a year.

 

I've long since graduated from college but I would like to go back and take a course in Austrian Economics just for the learning experience. I live in Southeastern Michigan and am willing to travel to any college or university in the area to take the course.

 

My question is, how do I find out if there are any professors at the schools in S.E. Michigan that subscribe to the Austrian theories, short of calling each school in the area?

Thank You very much. The very first university listed is one in Detroit!

I'm going to email the professor right away.

Thanks Again!

Montecristo,

Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, MI offers courses in Austrian Economics.  I asked the same question as you a while ago and found Hillsdale to be an exemplary school as far as independence, freedom and Austrian Economics goes.

Cool, thanks. I am applying to colleges now as we speak, and I was thinking of taking a class at UMD and using it as transfer credit to wherever I go.
