- MSEC is a course-only MS, which requires 30 hours of course credits (10 courses), one of which must be a capstone course.
- The exam is administered by a three-person committee appointed by the Directors of Graduate Studies for the 2 disciplines; students choose whether to be examined in the Computer Science department or in Economics, and the committee has a majority of members from the department chosen.
- The exam is based on a portfolio, composed of research papers, project reports, presentations, and other professional documents produced during the course of the MS.
- The Master's Program in Economics and Computation is a joint program between the departments of Economics and Computer Science to train and develop programming skills linked to economics and related areas to prepare graduates for Ph.D. studies or related professions.
- Students will study both economics and computer science coursework in depth, and must pass a final exam administered by their committees covering a portfolio of learning and research activities carried out during their master’s studies.
- They offer courses from multiple disciplines and departments, opportunities for teaching and research, a student population with diverse interests, career paths beyond academia, and more!
