Program/Degree
Econometrics and Quantitative Economics (MS)  
Program Description

Our Master’s in Econometrics and Quantitative Economics is an immersive, three-term residential program that can be finished in as little as 12 months.

Over that short time, students attain deep analytical and empirical skills in microeconomics and econometrics—essential, sought-after skills in the current market. We also provide dual-degree options, which can broaden opportunities in areas such as finance and business analytics.

You will learn:

  • Microeconomic theory, including individual decision-making and market equilibrium, game theory and market design
  • Empirical microeconomics, such as the use of econometric methods to understand markets, industries and other institutions
  • Experimental and behavioral economics, including laboratory methods and approaches from psychology to understand individual and interactive decision making
