Masters Degree in Economics
Our Master's degree in Economics is designed to meet the needs of traditional students as well as those of returning students, who wish to integrate their professional experience with additional training in economics. Ph.D. students with a Bachelor's degree have the option of first receiving the M.S. This degree requires 30 credits beyond the Bachelor's degree with a minimum of 24 credit hours in residency. An applied Master's thesis can account for 6 of the credit hours. The program is specifically designed for students who wish to tailor an advanced degree to their career goals. In addition to a solid grounding in economic theory, you are able to develop in-depth knowledge in applied economics in a particular area of interest.
