Foundation Requirements
The foundation requirements represent three bodies of knowledge that all graduate students must acquire before enrolling in the core courses. Requirements are waived if they have been met by previous studies or work experience. In addition, students are expected to have competence in standard spreadsheet applications.
- 经济理论——本科阶段的经济理论基础，包括中级微观经济学和中级宏观经济学。*
- 数学——对大学微积分的基本了解以及将微积分和基本线性代数应用于经济模型的能力。
- 统计学——统计学的基本知识，包括随机变量、概率分布、置信区间和假设检验。
* Non-economics majors who have not taken Intermediate Microeconomics, Intermediate Macroeconomics, or Economic Methods (applications of mathematics and statistics to economics) take these classes as they begin the IDEC program. Students having taken these classes who did not earn a grade of B or higher are conditionally admitted. Conditional admission is removed when these requirements are satisfied, and such students are still able to complete the program in two years.
Overseas Field Study
实地研究由教职顾问协调。实地研究在 USF 学习学期之间的夏季进行。实地研究期间收集的研究成果可应用于研究生研究项目。虽然该系及其教职员工已与菲律宾、印度、萨尔瓦多和危地马拉的合作大学建立了关系，但学生并不局限于这些合作关系，他们可以在其他国家的地点寻找和安排实习。大学提供旅行津贴以帮助支付暑期实习的费用，但不保证一定能获得。
硕士研究项目及口头报告
在本次研讨会上，学生将学习和讨论国际和发展经济学领域已发表的几篇实证论文，这些论文将为他们的实证工作提供指导。
夏季桥梁项目
夏季桥梁课程专门面向非经济学和非数学专业的学生提供。
