The Master of Science (M.S.) in Economics program has two primary goals: (1) Equipping students with analytical and research expertise for careers across business, government, and nonprofit sectors, and (2) preparing candidates for advanced doctoral studies in economics or related disciplines.
The program offers four specialized tracks:
General econometrics
Health economics
Ph.D. preparation
Monetary and financial economics
While there's significant curriculum overlap among the four tracks, students must choose their specialization before enrollment. Our STEM-designated M.S. in Economics caters to two groups: those seeking it as a final degree and those using it as preparation for further graduate work. As a terminal degree, it develops analytical and quantitative competencies for careers in various sectors. For those pursuing advanced studies, it provides essential skills for Ph.D. programs in Economics or strengthens doctoral work in business, finance, law, urban planning, or public policy.

Qualification Requirements
Students with good credentials in any discipline may apply to the M.S. in Economics program, but successful applicants usually demonstrate an ability in economics or similar area with significant training in mathematics and statistics.
Applicants should have completed a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution. Ordinarily, applicants should have an overall minimum grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale in their former course work and in their previous economics courses. Before undertaking graduate study in economics, a student should have knowledge of intermediate-level undergraduate economic theory (E321 intermediate microeconomics and E322 intermediate macroeconomics), statistics (E270), finite mathematics, and multivariate differential and integral calculus (the IUPUI equivalent M 16500 offered by the mathematics department). Students meeting some but not all of these requirements may be admitted on a conditional basis.
