The Master of Arts in Economics equips students for entry into Ph.D. programs, whether at Nebraska or elsewhere. Candidates in the MA program typically complete the same foundational theory courses as Ph.D. students. Those who transition to UNL's Ph.D. program can directly apply their MA coursework and exams toward doctoral requirements. For students seeking a practical, application-oriented degree, the Agricultural Economics department offers an alternative MA track. The Ph.D. represents an academic credential, training graduates to push the field forward through research, publications, and instruction. Alumni secure roles in higher education, as well as analytical and advisory positions across private and public sectors. Applicants should demonstrate excellence in economics, mathematics, and statistics coursework. Detailed admission criteria are available on our official website.
