About Master Of Arts In Economics in Wayne State University
The master's program, begun in 1934, seeks to prepare students for careers in industry, government, and junior college teaching. The M.A. degree is intended for those who seek a more extensive background in economics, either for employment as applied economists or for another advanced degree such as a Ph.D. The following fields are available currently within the M.A. program:
- Health economics
- Labor and human resources
- Industrial organization
- Quantitative economic methods
Many students in the M.A. program are employed and take their courses in the evening, so the department offers all of its core courses and a substantial number of M.A. elective courses in the evening.
