Overview

The program is structured such that a full-time student, with the necessary preparatory background, can complete the course of study in two academic years by taking the appropriate courses during the fall and spring terms.

The Program

The Masters of Science (MS-ECON) Degree Program in Economics from Georgetown University offers intensive training in the more technical areas of economics, with a strong focus on the quantitative and empirical aspects. This is recognized in the designation of the degree as a Master of Science (hence a STEM degree) rather than a Master of Arts.

The program begins by introducing students to the tools of microeconomics and macroeconomics. A key objective is to provide the students with a solid foundation in Microeconomic and Macroeconomic theory. However the ability to follow and develop economic arguments, and to supplement existing evidence with additional research, also requires the capacity to understand empirical analyses. Accordingly, the students also study econometric techniques and data analysis. These two courses provide the students with the ability to comprehend the empirical analyses pertinent to the discussion of economic issues and equip them with the skills to undertake original research projects and data analysis. The four core courses may also be prerequisites for the subsequent elective courses.
