The Master of Science in Applied Economics (MSAE) program prepares graduates for roles as economic, market, or financial analysts across various sectors. This curriculum equips students with robust economic theory foundations and advanced quantitative skills essential for careers as business economists, research analysts, government economists, or consulting professionals. Unlike conventional economics programs, Marquette's MSAE focuses on cultivating practical abilities to address real-world business and policy challenges. The coursework trains professionals to create, implement, and analyze economic models, prioritizing practical applications over theoretical concepts. Students enhance their communication abilities through regular presentations, written assignments, and hands-on projects. Most students finish the degree 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.
