For current Purdue undergraduate students in a STEM discipline, the MS in Economics degree program offers a combined-degree option. The combined degree program allows undergraduate students in Engineering (AAE, CE, ChE, ECE, IE, or ME), in Mathematics, or in Statistics to not only complete their undergradute degree but also make progress toward the completion of the MS degree in Economics while at Purdue. This path can be particularly attractive to Purdue STEM majors who already have plans to obtain a Minor in Economics as undergraduate students.
