UMass Amherst's economics graduate program mainly focuses on PhD students, but students can earn an MA in Economics as part of their doctoral journey.
The curriculum includes foundational classes in macroeconomics, microeconomics, political economy, economic history, econometrics, and mathematical approaches.
Students can customize their studies by selecting electives aligned with their professional aspirations, including options like game theory, international finance, labor economics, and comparative economic systems.
The department hosts several seminar groups to support graduate research, including the Analytical Political Economy Workshop and Environmental Working Group.
While MA candidates may choose to complete a thesis, it remains an optional component of the program.
