Elective Courses
The master’s programs in economics offer a wide variety of elective courses. Electives are taught by full-time Economics Department faculty members and other highly experienced professional economists with substantial expertise in the topics they teach.
MA-APEC students select a total of six elective courses. Students choose an appropriate sequence of electives based on the academic track they select – Standard (the default), Computational Economics, or Financial Economics. The Program Director will help students select courses that best suit their individual objectives.
