Since its founding in 1998, the DeVoe L. Moore Center has initiated courses, programs, and seminars that increase understanding of the role of government in a market economy for undergraduates, graduates, government workers, elected officials, and interested citizens. The Certificate in Political Economy is a course of study for undergraduate students that is designed to increase students' understanding of the role of government in a market economy from a public choice perspective. Upper division students from any major may enter the program. Undergraduate students are generally expected to have a grade point average of at least 2.5.
Special students are eligible to apply for the program.
An application form, which is available below, should be filled out and returned to David Rasmusssen, the Center Director. Course of Study Students must complete four of the following courses with a grade of C or better. Not all the courses can be from one department. This seminar is usually organized around the Center's Critical Issues Symposium , although other special topics courses may be scheduled by the Center's faculty and its affiliate members. A Certificate is awarded upon completion of the program.
