Courses include an in-depth study of markets, financial institutions, international finance, investments, and micro\/macroeconomics. You will apply this knowledge to actual problems encountered in the workplace.<\/p>\n<p>The program is open to all students but is particularly attractive to students majoring in either business or economics since it integrates courses from both disciplines. In size and scope, the certificate is between a minor and a major and is jointly offered by the business program and the economics program.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"grow-bro\" href=\"\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/03\/Appled-Finance-and-Econ-Card-2023-1C.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See the The Certificate in Applied Finance and Economics Brochure<\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"grow-bro\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.sou.edu\/preview_program.php?catoid=17&amp;poid=5022\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See Course Requirements<\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"grow-bro\" href=\"\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/06\/Certificate-in-Applied-and-Finance.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See Gainful Employment Disclosure<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1n0s5ul-0182da83da9c0a9a40b39d4d80eab93e\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-1n0s5ul-0182da83da9c0a9a40b39d4d80eab93e{\npadding-bottom:20px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-1n0s5ul-0182da83da9c0a9a40b39d4d80eab93e .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-1n0s5ul-0182da83da9c0a9a40b39d4d80eab93e .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:24px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-1n0s5ul-0182da83da9c0a9a40b39d4d80eab93e .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-1n0s5ul-0182da83da9c0a9a40b39d4d80eab93e av-special-heading-h3  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  right-pillow'><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Degree Fit<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-fuqm17h-ea4e320c5b1f2573acd0961c09287887 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock right-pillow av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h4>Program Preparation<\/h4>\n<p>The Certificate in Applied Finance and Economics (CAFE) is open to students of all majors who wish to develop strong skills in analytical thinking, financial decision-making, and economic reasoning. Whether your background is in business, the social sciences, STEM, the arts, or another field, this certificate provides practical, interdisciplinary knowledge that supports a diverse range of academic and professional pursuits. It is especially beneficial for students seeking careers in finance, banking, economic policy, consulting, or graduate studies in related areas.<\/p>\n<h4>Degree Roadmap<\/h4>\n<p>Students typically start the certificate program with foundational courses in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and core financial principles. They then advance to intermediate-level coursework in economics, finance, and quantitative methods, complemented by electives on specialized topics such as investments, financial markets and institutions, business cycles and macroeconomic forecasting, and behavioral economics. Throughout the program, students gain hands-on experience with modern econometric software (e.g., STATA, EViews) for analyzing financial and economic data, thereby strengthening both their practical skills and employability.<\/p>\n<h4>Capstone<\/h4>\n<p>No matter the degree, an emphasis in finance and economics can enhance a wide range of studies and make a graduate more agile and competitive on the job market. The Certificate in Applied Finance and Economics program integrates courses from two disciplines, synthesizing the broad theoretical subject overview and applications provided in economics with the practical and applied areas emphasized in finance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av-layout-grid-1'
