Finance and Fiscal Policy Concentration
CIPA fellows in the Finance and Fiscal Policy concentration grapple with fiscal issues that affect national, state and local government administrators. Students learn financial accounting, public finance, expenditure forecasting and expenditure limitations, cost-benefit analysis and trends in fiscal conditions. Students interested in this Concentration generally seek positions in national, state or local financial institutions.
In addition to the nine foundation courses, CIPA fellows who select the Finance and Fiscal Policy concentration take a minimum of five courses related to their specific area of focus. The course list below, organized thematically to facilitate course selection, is designed to help Fellows develop a particular area of study, but should not limit choices. CIPA fellows may elect to substitute other relevant courses, by petition, with the approval of their advisor.
