Applied Economics, MS/MBA

Applied Economics, MS/MBA

The MS in Applied Economics program and the Carey Business School offer a joint MS/MBA to allow students to explore the complementary relationship between business and economics. This enables students to earn both the MS degree and the MBA in fewer courses than would be required if they were pursued separately.

Admissions Criteria for All Advanced Academic Programs 

PROGRAM-SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

In addition to the materials and credentials required for all programs, the Master of Science in Applied Economics program also requires:

• One semester of introductory microeconomics, passed with at least a B
• One semester of introductory macroeconomics, passed with at least a B
• One semester of undergraduate statistics, passed with at least a B
• One undergraduate course that covers multivariate calculus, passed with at least a B  

Program Requirements

The program requires 28 courses: 10 applied economics courses and 18 MBA courses.

Dual-degree recipients receive both diplomas upon completion of both programs.
