Applied Economics, MA
Masters in Applied Economics Starting in Fall 2012
The Economics Department is pleased to announce that we will be offering a Master's in Applied Economics starting in Fall 2012. The program is designed for people currently working in a policy setting or desiring jobs as economists in a variety of settings in which policy analysis is relevant, ranging from private business to government to non-profit organizations. Although primarily directed at people engaged in areas that intersect with urban public policy issues, the program would also appeal to those teaching in high school or community colleges. In addition, we will offer a five-year BA/MA sequence for our own undergraduate majors.
The curriculum will provide foundational courses in orthodox and heterodox economic theory, methodology and courses focusing on the analysis of urban issues in a global context. The design of the program strongly emphasizes the set of skills necessary to do applied economic research. Students will be required to complete 30 credits with courses offered in late afternoons and evenings.
