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 Finance.
Each OU/EDI participant must study these 3 core areas by completing the following courses:
Business Retention and Expansion
Real Estate Development and Reuse
Economic Development Finance
In addition to the core areas, OU/EDI has developed a curriculum intended to give the participants a broad based education and to develop the skills necessary to be successful economic developers, while at the same time, covering four of the topic areas necessary to prepare for IEDC’s CEcD certification exam.
Participants who have completed a BEDC (Basic Economic Development Course) or IEDC’s Introduction to Economic Development Course must complete two of the four elective areas of concentration. If you have not completed a BEDC or the Introduction course, you will be required to complete three of the following elective areas of concentration.
Economic Development Marketing and Attraction
Economic Development Strategic Planning
Entrepreneurial and Small Business Development Strategies
Managing Economic Development Organizations
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 necessary to sit for the CEcD exam.
For additional information on the CEcD Requirements and the Examination Process please visit IEDC’s website at www.iedconline.org.
