The mission of the graduate program in economics is to provide students with advanced studies in economic theory and research methodology. To accomplish its mission, the Department of Economics and Finance offers two degree programs: the Master of Arts (M.A.) with a major in Economics and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) with a major in Economics. The department's approach to these degree programs is global, interactive, and innovative. In the M.A. program, students are offered three curricular paths: general economics, Industrial Relations, and Financial Economics. M.A. students in economics are offered preparation for careers in private business and public service. The focus of the M.A. program is on decision analysis and applied research. The Industrial Relations concentration offers the opportunity to obtain applied skills for careers in industrial relations. The technical analysis of employment relations includes issues in the workplace, compensation, and benefits. The program attempts to integrate this concentration into the broader business and economic environment. Traditional case analyses and projects are combined with emerging issues in work and employment. The curriculum design integrates multidisciplinary exposure, practice, problem solving, and innovative instruction. |
