Overview

The Economics program at Clemson University is also an excellent first step toward advanced graduate work in economics or law at other universities. As in the case of the PhD program, the MA curriculum stresses the development of students’ analytical skills, in particular their ability to identify key questions and to use theoretical and empirical tools to answer them.

Learning outcomes

The Master’s degree program is an integral part of Clemson’s overall graduate program. The program offers excellent professional preparation for analysis and management positions in business or government. Job placement for Clemson’s MA graduates ranks with the top programs in the region. The program is also an excellent first step toward advanced graduate work in economics or law at other universities. As in the case of the PhD program, the MA curriculum stresses the development of your analytical skills, in particular, your ability to identify key questions and to use theoretical and empirical tools to answer them.

If you enroll in the MA program, whether as your terminal degree or with plans to pursue further graduate study elsewhere, you are required to complete the required course work and submit an acceptable thesis. It is possible, however, to opt into the PhD program, in which case the thesis can be replaced by additional hours of classes.
