The master of science program combines the analytical framework of modern economic theory and the quantitative methods of applied econometrics with special emphasis on the following areas: coastal resources and environmental economics; economic forecasting; financial economics; health care; and issues of poverty and regional development. All students take a common core of courses in neoclassical theory and analytical technique and then apply these tools in a variety of field courses. The experience culminates in the completion of a research project in which the student designs an analytical project, collects that the required data, and then tests and reports the results of the model. The program can be completed in two semesters and two summers.
