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.
