OU EDI has aligned its curriculum to meet the education standards and requirements set by the IEDC Education and Certification Committees. These committees and OU EDI have identified three core areas considered to be the building blocks of economic development: Business Retention and Expansion (BRE), Real Estate, and Credit Analysis.
Each OU EDI Participant Must Study these Three Core Areas by Completing the Following Courses:
In addition to the core areas, OU EDI has developed a curriculum intended to give the participants a broad-based education and develop the skills necessary to be successful economic developers while covering four topics essential to prepare for IEDC’s CEcD certification exam.
OU EDI and IEDC have worked closely to ensure that OU EDI graduates will have fulfilled the necessary classroom contact hours in the three core areas and the elective areas of concentration to satisfy the education requirements required to sit for the CEcD exam.
