COMBINED DEGREE TRACK

The Combined Degree allows you to replace up to 12 undergraduate elective credits with graduate level courses. This means you can finish almost half of the master’s degree requirements by the time you complete your undergraduate coursework, leaving only 18 additional credits to complete a combined BA/MS or BS/MS degree. 

INTERNATIONAL STUDIES TRACK

The International Studies Track offers you a rare, first-hand opportunity to learn about the current political, social, and economics dynamics that are impacting international economies. As part of the track, students have an opportunity to take a short-term faculty-led study abroad course to Brazil, Europe, or China. This experience will give you a unique and in-depth understanding of the challenges and opportunities that exist abroad, especially those pertaining to the business environment, financial markets and institutions, and economic development. 

Public Policy Track

The objective of the Economic Policy Analysis and Public Economics track is to give you a solid background in policy development and prepare you for a career in government, politics, and public affairs at the public, private and non-profit levels. You will learn to effectively create, analyze, evaluate and quantify economic public policy, focusing on such policy areas as urban issues, healthcare, government, law, and the environment. Economic public policy analysis also prepares you to go on to graduate school for an MS in Applied Quantitative Economic Analysis and Policy, which is offered at Pace University.
