M.A. Program

The M.A. program can be tailored to prepare students for positions in business or government or to provide a solid foundation for Ph.D. level studies. The program can be completed in one to two years.
 
The master's degree program consists of at least 30 credit hours and includes courses in microeconomic theory, macroeconomic theory and statistics. 

Beyond this, students have considerable flexibility in choosing coursework. Remaining courses are selected and agreed upon by the student and his or her advisory committee based on the student's background, objectives, and undergraduate preparation. 
 
There is also flexibility in completing other requirements of the degree. Students can choose from a thesis option, a report option and exam option.
