• The 10-month degree program has been designed to be completed mid-July through mid-May.
  • Students are required to take ten 3-credit courses for a total of 30 credit hours. Courses are offered in a 2-4-4 format, with two courses in the summer semester, four courses in the fall semester, and four courses in the spring semester. No thesis is required. 
  • The 18-month and 24-month degree programs also begin in mid-July but are completed later.
  • For the July 2021 entering cohort, these programs would end in December 2022 and May 2023, respectively.
  • The degree requirements, including completion of the core courses and 30 graded credit hours, will be the same for all degree tracks.
  • A thesis option is not required (or offered) in any of the degree tracks.
  • A longer degree option can be a good fit for many students, including those looking to: complete the degree at a slower pace; work part-time or pursue an internship while completing the degree, build a stronger profile for PhD applications or private-sector jobs, and/or take additional Economics courses.
