Introduction
The objective of the Master's program in economics is to provide advanced training in the application of economic theory and quantitative methods for the analysis of economic problems and the design of economic policies. Candidates for the Master of Science degree in economics are required to complete eight courses (24 credit-hours) and a thesis. The program consists of three required core courses ECON 501 Microeconomic Theory, ECON 502 Macroeconomic Theory and Policy, and ECON 503 Econometrics I. In addition, the students must complete five elective courses in economics or a closely related field. Students who wish to complete the master’s program in economics who have completed an undergraduate degree in another field may be admitted to the program, subject to successfully completing selected prerequisite undergraduate economics courses.
