Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Academic Programs

In this 18-credit certificate, students learn microeconomic and macroeconomic principles and apply them to areas such as financial, international, and labor markets. The certificate is designed for students whose goal is to apply economic ideas and theories to answer questions in a wide range of fields and professions such as the government, education, non-profit and banking sectors. Applying economic ideas in a professional setting does not require a rigorous theoretical or quantitative component. The certificate allows for flexibility based on student interests and allows students to take special topics courses if they are offered.
