Certificate in Global Economics

Certificate in Global Economics: This concentration is for students with an interest in global economic issues, including the international business cycle, long-term economic growth, balance of payments issues, integration of international markets and economic development. This certificate is a good preparation for employment in the Federal Reserve System or other central banks and in international organizations such as the IMF, the World Bank and the UN, and for graduate study in international relations, public policy or economics. Besides the normal core courses for the economics major, students take four courses, including one core course, as part of the seven electives required for the major. There are specific grade requirements, including a minimum overall g.p.a. of 3.0 to receive the certificate, and a minimum B grade for all courses taken to satisfy the certificate requirements.

Core: One of the following courses:

01:220:300 International Economics
01:220:435 International Trade
01:220:436 International Finance and Macroeconomics

Electives: Three of the following courses, with the option of including an additional course from the core list above. Note that only two of the three core courses may be used for credit towards the economics major, and this general rule applies to the certificate as well.
