Overview

Master of Arts - Economics

Economics is a social science that employs scientific methods to measure, analyze and interpret people's behavior related to the production and consumption of goods and services. 

More broadly, economics is the study of the determinants of well-being, material and otherwise, with constant attention toward improving public policies that affect people's well-being. 

The economist is knowledgeable not only with the essential subject matter of the discipline, but also with a set of analytical tools that sets economics apart from other fields of inquiry.

The MA in Economics is an intensive, 12-to-16-month course of study that prepares the student for PhD-level study in economics, or to pursue a career as an economic analyst in the public or private sector.
