Graduate Programs
The Department of Economics offers two degree options from which graduate students can choose. Our MA program in Economics is flexible and allows you to tailor a course of study to fit your needs, in consultation with your academic advisor.
Our MA program with a Concentration in Applied Economics is custom tailored to prepare you for applied careers. As of Fall 2023, both programs are STEM designated degrees; graduates who are international students will be eligible for the 24-month extension (OPT).
