Overview

The University of Colorado Denver 's MA in Economics programme emphasizes extensive training in mathematical and quantitative analysis, including the provision of substantial exposure to econometrics and forecasting, working with large and diverse data sets, and a wide range of statistical software.

This gives students the applied skills that employers demand, provides those pursuing advanced degrees an edge in gaining admission to top-flight PhD programmes—and enhances the likelihood of the student's ultimate success.

Career outcomes

Evidence of our success in this area can be seen in part through the placements of our students. In recent years, a number of our graduates have gone on to top-ranked PhD programmes including Harvard, Stanford, UC-San Diego, Illinois, Michigan State and University of North Carolina.

Others have gone to work as economists in various federal, state and local government offices. Most of our graduates move into the private sector, working as economists or quantitative analysts for local, national and multinational corporations.
