MBA/Applied Economics, MS Dual Degree

To allow students to better exploit the strong complementary nature between business and economics, the Carey Business School and the Johns Hopkins Krieger School of Arts and Sciences 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 for fewer courses than if pursued separately. More information is available at the website.

Admission Requirements

Apply to the MBA/MS in Applied Economics through the Johns Hopkins Krieger School of Arts and Sciences. 

Program Requirements

The program requires 66 total credits, including 42 Carey credits for the MBA (16 credits Flex MBA Business Foundation and 26 credits of electives). The 42 credits required for the MBA must be "BU" courses from the Carey Business School. Students must complete the MBA portion within six years. A waived course must be replaced with an equivalent number of credits in an advanced "BU" course. 

Dual degree recipients receive both diplomas upon completion of both programs. Course requirements, which can be pursued simultaneously at both schools, are:
