The M.A. in Economics is a 30-hour program that requires the completion of coursework and a substantive research project. Students generally complete the degree in 21 months by studying during the fall and spring semesters of two consecutive academic years. However, some students have completed the program in 15 months. Doing so generally requires taking summer courses and more than a full load in the final fall semester. Students must achieve an overall GPA of 3.0 (B) or higher in order to receive the degree.
