Model Thinking (University of Michigan)

A toolbox of models for thinking clearly about the world — economics, networks, decisions — free.

  • Business & Economics
  • Humanities & Social Sciences
Who can enter
Anyone worldwide — free to audit; the mental models economists actually use
What it costs
Free to audit: lectures and readings cost nothing. The certificate is paid (roughly $49-79, or included in a Coursera Plus subscription), with Coursera financial aid available on the course page — it covers most of the fee if granted, not always all of it.
When it closes
We could not confirm this year's date against the organiser's own page, so we are not showing a countdown for it. Last published: Self-paced on Coursera — free to audit any time.

Sending this to someone sends the four facts above, not just a name — they will see who can enter and what it costs before they decide.
