Economics, Master of Arts

Program Director: Professor Jay Hamilton (Interim)

The Master of Arts in Economics provides students with a comprehensive and foundational knowledge of applied economics. The program is distinct in that it requires students to examine the unjust and just application of economic analysis and subsequent policies. The program utilizes a heterodox/pluralist approach that focuses primarily on issues of justice such as diversity, equality and sustainability. The degree will require students to have a firm understanding of the theory, skills, and tools used by practitioners in the field. 

Students who complete this degree will be prepared to seek employment and promotion in the public and nonprofit sectors as economic analysts or to continue their education in PhD programs, law school, or other educational pursuits. Students will graduate with a distinct advantage by studying economics from multiple perspectives.
