CBE offers Applied Economics Program

The College of Business and Economics through the Economics Department will offer a Masters degree in Applied Economics Program for part-time students.
Designed for corporate planners and other professionals particularly those employed in financial institutions, the Masters in Applied Economics Program is a non-thesis program with more emphasis on practical application of economic principles than theory. Students will be trained in the use of Econometrics for industry studies and enable them to do macroeconomic forecasting.

The new program will complement the Masters of Science in Economics Program, which will be converted into a full-time program. It has been redesigned to meet the needs of students who wish to have more rigorous training in Economics for teaching and advanced research and in preparation for doctorate degrees in universities here and abroad. MS in Economics will put greater emphasis on underlying theory rather than on applications. Students can choose to specialize among the following tracks: International Economics, Public Sector Economics, Financial Economics, and Econometrics. Both degrees can be earned in two years or six terms. The two programs will be offered beginning first term of school year 2002-2003.
