About

The Master of Science (M.S.) in Economics program has a twofold objective: (1) To provide students with analytical capabilities and research skills for careers in business, government, and the nonprofit sec­tor; and (2) to prepare those who want to pursue a Ph.D. in economics or a related field.

The program has four different specialties:

  • General econometrics
  • Health economics
  • Ph.D. preparation
  • Monetary and financial economics

There is substantial overlap in the courses required for graduation under the four curricula. Nevertheless, the incoming student should have selected his or her area of specialization prior to entering the program.
