BA and MA in Economics

The BA/MA program in economics allows academically outstanding undergraduate students to complete an MA degree from the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences at the same time as the BA. 144 credits are the minimum for this program. It requires the MA Economics Core (four courses in microeconomics, macroeconomics, statistics, and econometrics) and four elective courses on the master s level, replacing four undergraduate electives. Thus the dual BA/MA degree require 16 additional credits (see below), and at least one semester of additional time, beyond the BA degree
