Applied Economics, MS/MBA
To allow students to better exploit the strong complementary relationship between business and economics, Carey Business School and the Applied Economics program have eliminated the overlap between the MS in Applied Economics and the MBA. This enables students to earn both the MS degree and the MBA in fewer courses than if pursued separately.
