Applied Economics, MS/ Investment Certificate

MS in Applied Economics and Certificate in Investments

To allow students to better exploit the strong complementary relationship between finance and economics, Carey Business School and the Applied Economics program have eliminated the overlap between the Master of Science in Applied Economics and the Graduate Certificate in Investments. This enables students to earn both the MS degree and a graduate certificate for a total of 15 courses—eight through the MS in Applied Economics program and seven through Carey Business School.
