Dual Diplomas in Economics and Finance

To allow students to better exploit the strong complementarity between Finance and Economics, the Carey Business School of Johns Hopkins University and the Applied Economics Program have eliminated the overlap between the MA Degree in Applied Economics and the Graduate Certificate in Financial Mangement and the Graduate Certificate in Investments http://carey.jhu.edu/financeprograms/.

This enables students to earn both the MA Degree in Applied Economics and a Graduate Certificate in Financial Management or in Investmests for a total of 14 courses, 8 at Applied Economics and 6 at Carey. Those interested, including current students of either school, apply to the Dual MA Degree in Applied Economics/Graduate Certificate in Financial Mangement or in Investments through Advanced Academic Programs. The Carey Graduate Certificate in Investments accompanies preparation for the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) examination, which is preserved in the Dual Diploma program. Course requirements, which can be pursued simultaneously at both schools, are:
