The Master of Science in Applied Economics (MSAE) program prepares graduates for roles as economic, market, or financial analysts across various sectors including industry, government, and finance. This curriculum offers a strong foundation in economic principles along with hands-on training in advanced quantitative methods, equipping students for careers as business economists, financial analysts, government economists, or economic consultants. Unlike conventional academic economics programs, Marquette's MSAE focuses on cultivating practical abilities to address real-world challenges faced by businesses and public institutions. The coursework trains professionals capable of creating, implementing, and analyzing economic models, with an emphasis on applying economic theory and quantitative methods rather than theoretical exploration. Students enhance their communication abilities through regular presentations, written assignments, and practical projects. Most students finish the program within three to four semesters.
The Marketing Research Specialization caters to those pursuing careers in marketing research and market analysis, whether with consulting firms or within corporate marketing departments across service, manufacturing, or financial industries. This track blends core econometric and forecasting courses from the economics curriculum with specialized marketing classes covering marketing management, research methodologies, and other key marketing disciplines.

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.
