Graduate
The Master of Science in Applied Economics (MSAE) degree is for individuals seeking careers as economic, market or financial analysts in industry, government, or the financial sector. In contrast to traditional, purely academic master's degree programs in economics, Marquette's MSAE program concentrates on developing and applying practical skills which can be used to solve real problems confronting business and government. The curriculum is designed to produce practitioners who can design, develop and interpret economic models. The program is usually completed in three or four semesters. However, a five year BA/MSAE or BS/MSAE option is also available that reduces the time necessary to complete the MSAE degree.
