Mises University has been our flagship student program since 1986 for a reason. It is the essential training ground for budding economists in the Misesian tradition. University students from around the world come to Auburn, Alabama, to learn about markets and prices, money and banking, the importance of the division of labor, Austrian business cycle theory, the failures of socialism, and more.
But it isn’t just university students who are interested in these ideas.
So, for the first time, the Mises Institute is hosting Rothbard University, an intensive course of lectures in Austrian economics, open to everyone.
The event will be held May 14-16, 2026, in Auburn, and will be structured like Mises University, with lectures, meals with faculty, and a closing cookout. And yes, there will be an optional test.
This year will mark Murray Rothbard’s 100th birthday—what better way to celebrate than to champion and further his lifelong mission to spread the ideas of liberty and Austrian economics?
Ticket and schedule details coming soon. Space will be limited for this event.
