PGCert in Economics

This Schar School certificate introduces international economics and how global policies are assessed. Students study trade policy techniques, macroeconomics of open economies and international finance, and also pick up the basics of AI and machine learning. The credential is made up of five courses, so it is a compact route to new skills, and it can be applied toward a master's degree later. Graduates can evaluate trade and cross-border financial policy on behalf of public bodies and other groups. Applicants must be admitted to the certificate itself and meet the school's graduate admission standards. Applicants are expected to satisfy the university's graduate admission standards in addition to any requirements set by the department. The catalog sets out the degree requirements, relevant academic policies and contacts, and prospective students are encouraged to review them and to speak with the program before applying.
