• The curriculum for the MA in Economics is flexible.
  • Graduate students for whom the MA is a terminal, or professional, degree almost always choose the thesis option.
  • The thesis option enables students to acquire theoretical and empirical skills through coursework and demonstrate their competence and creativity through the Masters’ thesis.
  • The coursework can be completed in two semesters and most students can complete the thesis and their degree within a 12-month period.
  • A non-thesis option is also available for students who take and pass a more challenging set of core courses, ones for doctoral students.
  • The MA in Economics is not a STEM degree.
