The Master of Science in Applied Economics (MSAE) program prepares students for professional roles as economic, market, or financial analysts across various sectors including private industry, government agencies, and financial institutions. This degree equips learners with a strong foundation in economic principles and hands-on training in advanced quantitative methods essential for careers as business economists, financial analysts, policy researchers, government economists, or consulting professionals. Unlike conventional academic economics master's programs, Marquette's MSAE focuses on cultivating practical competencies for addressing real-world business and policy challenges. The coursework trains professionals capable of creating, implementing, and analyzing economic models, with an emphasis on applying economic theories and quantitative tools rather than theoretical derivations. The curriculum also prioritizes communication development through regular written reports and oral presentations of applied research findings. Most students finish the program within three to four semesters.

Qualification Requirements
Admission to the MSAE program requires that applicants have successfully completed a four-year undergraduate degree with a GPA of 3.0 or higher (on a 4.0 scale). For those below the 3.0 requirement, please contact us to see if other qualifications may be used to help fulfill this requirement. Qualified applicants are expected to have completed coursework in economics through intermediate microeconomic and macroeconomic theory and at least one course in both basic statistics and calculus at the college level. Applicants without the required background will be required to make up the deficiency either through remedial coursework or an approved program of self-study.
Although it is strongly recommended that students begin the program in the fall semester, applicants for the spring semester will be considered.
