How is his maths?

If he hasn't done higher level mathematics, it wouldn't hurt to brush up on calculus if he doesn't feel up to par.

There's nothing that stands out that your son could do otherwise apart from familiarise himself with topical events in economics, which might make some of his course material in 2012 seem more fresh and appealing.

I don't know of any formal, short courses. Maybe some books from the economics resources thread in the economics section
