3. About NABE
In its efforts to help economists advance their careers,
NABE offers its members a number of continuing
education courses that place emphasis on practice over
theory. NABE also operates a Certified Business
Economist (CBE) program, which is designed to give
those in the economics field the skills and knowledge
needed to become successful practitioners.
4. Conclusion
NABE members who wish to earn a CBE designation
must already hold a four-year degree and have at least
two years of work experience in business economics or
another related field before entering the program.
Candidates who meet these criteria are then required
to complete courses through NABE and pass a
comprehensive examination in order to become a CBE
designee. The designation must be renewed every two
years through completion of at least 30 hours of
continuing education.
