The MA in Economics is a terminal master’s program that equips its graduates with the advanced knowledge and quantitative skills required for an economic analyst in the business world, the consulting industry, a central bank, or government.
The training provides a thorough understanding of fundamental economic principles, the application of mathematical methods and modeling, and the use of computer software for large-scale data analysis.
It is accomplished through the economics core (four courses in microeconomics, macroeconomics, statistics, and econometrics) and four elective courses.
The entire program may thus be completed in one academic year.
Candidates must complete a minimum of eight-semester courses (32 credits).

MA in Economic Policy at Boston University

Course Curriculum:

For students with no experience with Economics, the content is good. Students with some background in Econ may find some of it redundant. However, it might still be a good degree if you looking for job opportunities in the US. Research opportunities are available through the RA mentorship program. The alumni network is good which is useful in job-hunting.
