Program Overview
Econometrics is the application of statistical methods to real world problems. For example, econometrics can be used to determine which factors predict whether a borrower will default on a loan and can be used to forecast trends. Individuals who can answer problems using data are in high demand in the job market, and all courses in the Applied Econometrics certificate focus on using data and statistics to answer questions and solve business-related problems.
The graduate certificate in Applied Econometrics provides students with a strong foundation in applied econometrics, a skill set that is increasingly in demand. In addition, students considering graduate study in economics have the opportunity to explore material prior to formally committing to a full graduate degree program.
