Program Description
- The School of Economic Sciences offers a
Master of Arts in Applied Economics degree.
- The degree program provides strong
foundations in economic theory, quantitative
methods, applications, communication skills,
and research analysis.
- Students can focus their studies in general
economics, agribusiness, or agricultural and
resource economics by carefully selecting
supporting and elective courses.
- Students can earn an MA in Applied
Economics to specifically prepare for positions
in private corporations and government service
as management specialists, policy analysts,
forecasters or economic consultants.
- Two options are offered in the
degree--thesis and non-thesis.
- This degree can be completed by
well-prepared students in two years or less.
- Because core courses, which are
prerequisites for more advanced courses, are
offered only during the fall semester, students
usually are only admitted for the fall
semester.
- Students interested in obtaining a Ph.D.,
but with less preparation in applied economics,
will often first choose to earn the M.A. in
Applied Economics.
