• MA in Applied Economics at Georgetown University is a 2 years program and divided into two parts.
  • The first part is the fall term, which consists of a set of four core courses – Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Econometrics, and Data Analysis.
  • These courses provide students with a solid grasp of the key models employed in Economics and equip them with the main tools for econometric investigation and data analysis.
  • After completing these core courses, students will understand in-depth the empirical analyses pertinent to the discussion of economic issues and will have the skills needed to undertake original research projects and their own data analyses.
  • In the second part of the program is the spring and summer terms, students focus on the application of economic analysis to a range of contemporary economic problems.
  • These applications are the subject of a set of elective courses that span the main areas of economics. 
  • The choice of electives will depend on the particular academic track a student selects: Standard (the default), Computational Economics, or Financial Economics
