Overview

East Carolina University's Quantitative Economics and Econometrics, M.Sc. program provides an ideal background for work in industry, government and nonprofit positions requiring the combination of analytical skills and institutional background. Although it is an excellent preparation for further graduate work in economics, it was conceived specifically to provide graduates with up-to-date and marketable skills. One of the strengths of the program is in the small class sizes and a close working relationship with the faculty. Faculty who are active contributors to the areas in which they teach conducts all graduate field courses.

The structure of the program reflects the research interests of the faculty. Some of the faculty conduct research and teach in areas of macroeconomics, but the preponderant emphasis within the department is on neoclassical microeconomics applied to areas such as coastal and marine resources, environmental economics, health care, labor economics, regional development and income distribution.

ECU Advantage

The program design includes a healthy measure of theory and econometric technique. The structure of the program reflects the conviction that people best learn economics by doing economics: our elective courses are taught as applications of the theory and technique courses and encourage students to define all research questions in a manner that will permit empirical testing.

A successful working economist must not only master the statistical techniques of modern empirical research, but must also be able to convey the results of this research in a persuasive and articulate manner. Our program accordingly gives students ample opportunity to develop necessary analytical and presentation skills. The department also conducts regular economics seminars at which our faculty and invited external speakers present their latest research.
