Master of Science in Economics and
Policy Analysis

The MS in Economics and Policy Analysis (MS-EPA) gives students a distinguished and marketable set of skills in economic theory as it applies to policy analysis. Students learn how to conduct statistical and econometric research grounded in sound economic models using data from multiple sources on different policy issues. In addition, students will be able to explain their results and policy recommendations not only to economists, but also to non-economists, politicians, and the general public. MS-EPA graduates can find employment in the private sector working for corporations in governmental relations departments, in federal and state governmental agencies, in trade associations and lobbying firms, or in the not-for-profit sector.
