The course Econ 5501 covers job market communication skills of resume writing, cover letters, interviewing, skills to search for job/internship openings, and economist/business skills of report writing, data visualization, and PowerPoint presentations. It is intended for 2nd semester MSQE students, though other qualified students may enroll with instructor permission. Taking Econ 5501 (2 credits Spring term) and Econ 5502 (1 credit Fall term) qualifies MSQE students to sit for the Certified Business Economists exam, which is a valuable resume credential.
