Certificate Programs


Certificate in Quantitative Economics

The Certificate in Quantitative Economics (CQE) is intended to enhance economics education for exceptional students in a cost-effective manner. Building on the existing major requirements, the certificate will be awarded to students who take additional courses in mathematics, statistics, and computer science. The certificate is available to both economics majors and minors.

Requirements
The CQE will be overseen by a faculty adviser appointed by the undergraduate director. Interested students will meet with the adviser as early as possible. Students will continue to meet with the adviser each semester to review their progress. To receive the certificate, students must maintain a B average in the economics major/minor and in the additional certificate courses.

1. Mathematics: Calculus for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (640:151,152) or Honors Calculus (640:191,192) or equivalent;
Notes: 135 will be accepted in place of 151 but 640:136 does not satisfy the prerequisite for Math 251 Multivariable Calculus. Students must take 152 (or 192).
 
2. Linear Algebra (640:250)
 
3. Multivariable Calculus (640:251 or Honors 640:291)

4. Statistics: Theory of Probability (960:381) and Theory of Statistics (960:382)
or Mathematical Theory of Probability (640:477) and Theory of Statistics (640:481); students considering a minor in math should normally take these courses.
Notes: The two course sequence (960:381-382 or 640:477,481) will substitute for the normal economics statistics requirement.

5. Intermediate Statistical Analysis (960:384)

6. Introductory Computing for Statistics (960:390)

7. Computer Science: Introduction to Computer Science (198:111) and Data Structures (198:112) 
  
8. Economics: Students must take at least two of the following electives, one of which must be 401 or 421. Students may take both 401 and 421 if they wish.
   386  Operations Research I
   401  Advanced Econometrics
   405  Economics of Risk and Uncertainty
   406  Game Theory and Economics
   409  Mathematical Economics
   421  Economic Forecasting

Global Economics Certificate

This certificate program offers an enriched study for students interested in understanding the emerging global economy. The certificate requires language training, training in related disciplines, intensive work in international economics and economic development, and participation in the activities of the Rutgers Global Program, as well as completion of a major in economics.

The certificate program offers excellent preparation for students planning a career in international business or finance or in international public service, and an excellent base for graduate study in economics, business, or law.

Requirements
1. This program is open only to economics majors.

2. Students must submit a written application to be approved by the economics department's adviser on global studies.

3. Students must complete all economics major requirements subject to the following restrictions:

  a. Two courses in international economics (300 and 335, 300 and 336, or 335 and 336).

  b. Two courses with an emphasis on the economic development of other nations, including Economic Development (339), European Economic History (343), Economics of Latin America (346), Economics of India (357), Economics of Japan (358), Economics of Asia (359), Comparative Economic Systems (362), and Economics of the USSR and Russia (378). This list may be revised; students should check with the economics adviser on global studies for the most up-to-date list.

4. The student must complete all of the requirements set up by the Global Program, including:

  a. An international experience (study abroad, work with an international firm or public agency, or some other activity that significantly enriches the classroom experience) approved in advance by the economics adviser on global studies.

  b. A minimum of six 3-credit courses of an international character in the following related departments: anthropology, history, political science, psychology, and sociology. At least three courses must be in one department; all must have a global emphasis and be approved in advance by the economics adviser on global studies.

  c. Demonstrated proficiency in a relevant foreign language, defined as qualifying for a 300-level course in that language.

  d. Participation in extracurricular global programs events.

  e. Participation in an interdisciplinary "exit seminar" for all global program certificate students.
