Certificate in Finance:

Certificate in the Economics and Management of Natural Resources, Energy, and the Environment:



How can a student enroll in these certificate programs? These certificate programs have very limited enrollments. The application and admission process is administered by the Department of Economics. The principal factor used to rank applicants is the cumulative grade point average. Both certificates require two years to complete, so a student should enter a certificate program at the start of their third year in the BA program.

What are the minimum requirements for admission? - Completion of *60 with a CGPA of at least 3.0. - Registration in a major or honors program in economics. Meeting these requirements is not a guarantee of admission.
