Institute for International Economic Policy
Graduate Certificate Program
The Elliott School of International Affairs, in cooperation with IIEP, offers a certificate program in International Economic Policy (IEP). This certificate provides students with flexible training in this challenging area. The IEP certificate is particularly appropriate for those who wish to gain specialized knowledge in international economic policy in a relatively short time frame.
Successful candidates will have completed at least one course in micro- and macroeconomic theory. All IEP certificate candidates must have a completed BA and at least eight years of professional experience or a completed graduate degree before applying.
All IEP certificate candidates take a course in international trade theory and policy (Econ 283) as well as a course in international macroeconomics theory and policy (Econ 284).
Please contact the Elliott School Graduate Admissions Office (202.994.7150) for more information.
