The Master of Science in economics requires 30 completed credit hours and a thesis. The core courses are flexible depending upon the student\u2019s preferences regarding application or theory.\u00a0 Master of Science students must complete core coursework in microeconomics, macroeconomics, statistics and econometrics.\u00a0 In addition to core coursework, students must complete elective courses to reach a total of 30 credit hours of coursework.\u00a0 Six credit hours may come from thesis research registration.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Students may enroll in the MS program on either a full-time or part-time basis.<\/p>\n

Elective Courses<\/h2>\n

An additional five courses (15 credit hours) of electives are required, including at least three courses (9 credit hours) of ECG electives at the 5xx or 7xx level. Six hours of ECG 695 (Thesis Research) may be counted towards as elective credit. .\u00a0<\/p>\n

Master’s Thesis<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A thesis is required for the MS degree. Up to 6 credit hours of ECG 695 (Thesis Preparation) may be applied toward the major as electives (but may not replace the required 500-level or 700-level ECG electives). The thesis requirement is met upon successfully passing a final oral exam. The oral exam consists of an oral defense of the completed written thesis before the student’s thesis advisory committee.<\/p>\n
