Program details

Overview

This 30-credit certificate introduces the fundamentals of applied economics. Two required courses cover introductory macroeconomics and microeconomics; optional courses drawn mainly from the economics curriculum (covering topics such as economic history, behavioural economics, macroeconomic and microeconomic analysis, econometrics, international trade, and monetary economics) allow students to broaden their training, with a smaller allowance for electives from the School of Management or elsewhere in the University. The program helps students understand different approaches within economics, acquire the basics of applied economics to explain current economic issues, update their training as economists or managers through continuing education, and build initial economics knowledge that can lead into the bachelor's program in economics. It is offered part-time only, with admission in the fall and winter terms, at the Sherbrooke campus.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants must have completed the University's first-cycle microprogram in introductory economics or management (minimum 12 credits) or another university credential of at least 12 credits, or hold a Quebec DEC (or the equivalent for studies completed outside Quebec). Before beginning the program, applicants must have passed at least one college-level mathematics course numbered 201 or 360 (such as differential calculus, linear algebra, integral calculus, or probability and statistics) or the equivalent.
