应用经济学文学硕士

UIC的应用经济学硕士课程专为希望获得经济学硕士学位的学生而设计，可作为攻读博士学位的垫脚石。课程或需要这种准备的职业，但尚未在本科课程中广泛研究经济学。我们提供经济理论和统计分析方面严格的分析培训，对于学生而言，数学准备不足，而不是经济学博士学位的学生。程序。重要的是，我们将此加速课程压缩为三个学期，包括夏季，以便学生可以在10个月内完成整个课程。这大大降低了成本，并使学生能够升读博士学位。只需学习一年，就可以计划或进入就业市场。我们已经设计了该计划，以满足不同背景和兴趣的学生的需求并吸引他们。核心经济
The MA in Applied Economics program at UIC is designed for students who desire an MA degree in economics as either a stepping stone to a Ph.D. program or to advance in a career that requires such preparation. We provide analytically rigorous training in economic theory and statistical analysis that is accessible to students with less preparation in mathematics than is required for enrollment in an Economics Ph.D. program. Importantly, we condense this accelerated program into three semesters, including summer, so that students can complete the entire program in ten months. This substantially reduces the cost and enables students to matriculate to a Ph.D. program or enter the job market after only a single year of study. Alternately, students with sufficient prior coursework and experience have the option to waive the summer courses and begin the program in the fall semester.<br><br>We have structured the program to engage and meet the needs of students with diverse backgrounds and interests. The core economic theory and statistical methods courses are analytically rigorous but do not require extensive training in mathematics and do not focus on mathematical derivations or proofs. However, students with the requisite training in mathematics may substitute courses from our Ph.D. program in place of the corresponding Applied MA courses. This enables these students to engage the material at a more mathematically sophisticated level and demonstrate their knowledge to Ph.D. programs and employers.
