Columbia  University and the Economic Development Institute  have
announced  the fifth year of the Program in Economic Policy  Man-
agement  for  graduate  training in the theory  and  practice  of
economic policy making.  This program is designed to provide mid-
career  policy  makers of demonstrated achievement  and  superior
promise with the skills required to design and implement economic
policy effectively, with a strong emphasis on policy issues faced
by  developing  and formerly socialist  economies.  The  18-month
Program accommodates the schedule of promising mid-career  policy
makers  and  culminates  in a Master's  Degree  in  International
Affairs from Columbia University.

The academic component of the Program is a cooperative endeavor of Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs, Graduate School of Business, and Department of Econom- ics. The Department of Economics will provide academic leadership of the Program. The World Bank will support the Program by pro- viding full financial support for 25 students, guest lecturers for courses offered by the Program, and student internships.

The 1996-97 Program begins in June 1996. Applications for admis- sion to the Program should be received by January 1, 1996. Poten- tial applicants to the Program should arrange to take the GRE and, if appropriate, the TOEFL exams as soon as possible.
