Quantitative Methods in Applied Economics, Post-Master’s Certificate

The four-course Post-Master’s Certificate in Quantitative Methods in Applied Economics is intended for those who already hold a master’s degree in economics or statistics, and who wish to expand or update their knowledge. All courses are offered on-site in the evenings at the Washington, DC Center of the Johns Hopkins University (near Dupont Circle) and online. Admissions requirements are the same as for our MS in Applied Economics degree plus a master’s degree in economics or statistics. Students lacking prerequisite courses can take them with us, on-site or online. Admissions are rolling; one can begin in the summer, fall, or spring semester.
