Master of Science Degree in Social and Applied Economics
The Department of Economics at Wright State
University offers an innovative Master of Science program in Social
and Applied Economics. We accept qualified applicants with
undergraduate degrees in any field, and provide them with a
specialized graduate education in economics which promotes effective
decision-making. A complete
list of required and
elective courses is available here.
Features:
- Convenience: All
classes are conducted in the evening, making them ideal for working
adults.
- Availability:
Qualified applicants may enter the program in the Fall, Winter, or
Spring quarters.
- Efficiency:
Most students complete the program in one year.
- Uniqueness:
Our Master’s degree is unique in this region of the country by
virtue of its innovative blend of applied and social economics. In
addition to a solid foundation in micro- and macroeconomics,
students take courses in economic measurement and forecasting to
develop quantitative skills, as well as courses on contemporary
policy issues—such as the interface between economics and
ecology—designed to enhance critical thinking.
- Hands-on Experience:
The program culminates in an internship in which M.S. candidates
apply economic analysis to real-world problems for a business,
non-profit organization, or government agency. Students build a
documented portfolio of accomplishments while providing assistance
to regional employers.
- Professionalism:
Courses are taught exclusively by full-time professional economists
holding doctorates in the discipline. In addition to publishing
state-of-the-art research, our faculty have served as consultants
and advisors to many prominent government agencies, nonprofits, and
corporations, including the Joint Economic Committee of the U.S.
Congress, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the National
Institute of Technology and Standards of the U.S. Department of
Commerce, the Research Triangle Institute, the Rand Corporation, the
Educational Testing Service, and the government of Vietnam.
- Marketability:
The MS provides a valuable entrée into employment in either the
public or private sector. Many of our graduates are employed in
financial services, government agencies, and educational
institutions.
- Flexibility:
The MS in Social and Applied Economics is also advantageous to those
who wish to pursue further graduate studies in law, economics,
political science, or other doctoral programs in the social
sciences.
