Applications for fall 2010 admission to the Financial Economics Certificate Program will be due on Monday, February 22, 2010. While not all students follow the same path to fulfill the prerequisites, many take the calculus and linear algebra prerequisite courses during their freshman year, and the probability and econometrics/statistics prerequisites during their sophomore year. The microeconomics course may be taken in either the freshman or sophomore year. Please note that CPU prerequisite courses have their own prerequisites, and these are determined by the department offering them. Applications are due during the winter quarter, although many successful applicants finish taking their prerequisites during the winter (and sometimes spring) term. As a rule, admission decisions are based on winter quarter grades. Students who are accepted into the program and are still taking prerequisite courses during the spring term must receive a “B” or better in those courses in order to enter the program in the fall. There are many different ways to satisfy the CPU prerequisites, and the most common ones are listed in the chart below. Please check the Undergraduate Catalog or the appropriate department for more details about the prerequisite course required for CPU prerequisites.
