What undergrad Econ classes are important for MPA/MPP programs?

<p>Hi, I'm a third year Econ major considering pursuing an MPP with a focus in Int Dev.
I know most programs suggest micro, macro, stats, and calc, but since I'm an Econ major this stuff is a given and I would like to be as competitive as possible.</p>

<p>The Econ program at my school is very open and allows for a lot of choice in terms of what classes one can take for the BA. I'm still undecided and so far the upper division classes I have (and soon will have) under my belt are: Micro, Macro, World Ecn History before the Industrial Revolution, International Micro, International Macro, and US Ecn History before 1865. </p>

<p>I'm definitely taking Econometrics and Decision Making(like applied game theory), and will probably be taking Economic Development classes.
out of the rest of these, what would be good to take?</p>

<p>Economics of Uncertainty and Information
Comparative Economic Systems (was thinking of taking this just out of personal interest)
Industrial Organization
Game Theory/Strategic Behavior
Public Micro
Public Finance
Topics in Macroeconomic Theory (advanced)
Macroeconomic Policy
Transportation Economics
Economics of the Labor Market
Economics of Human Resources</p>

<p>Sorry for the long post, just trying to narrow stuff down and I don't have much of a clue regarding what classes would help.
Thanks!</p>

<p>sigh… ttt</p>

<p>My choices: Uncertainty/Information, Labor Market, Public Finance</p>

<p>Don’t ask me to defend them.</p>
