Wayne State's economic development certification program is tailored for graduate students (master's or doctoral candidates) seeking to integrate urban, regional, and state economic development expertise into their advanced degrees. This Graduate Certificate in Economic Development provides students with theoretical frameworks and practical methodologies for engaging in development initiatives across various sectors - including government agencies at all levels, non-profit groups, community organizations, business associations like chambers of commerce, and private enterprises involved in economic growth.
Qualified candidates include both current graduate students and degree holders from five participating academic departments: business administration, economics, political science, industrial relations, and urban planning.
