Bachelor's Degree
The Master of Arts in Economics program equips students for advanced doctoral studies, whether at Nebraska or elsewhere. Participants in the MA program typically enroll in the same foundational theory courses as PhD candidates. Those who continue into UNL's doctoral program can seamlessly transfer their completed MA coursework and exams. For learners seeking a final degree with an applied economics emphasis, the Agricultural Economics department offers an alternative MA option. Nebraska's economics education starts with rigorous training in economic theory and quantitative approaches, then advances to specialized applications of these methodologies.
