A Message about the Master's Program in Economics

We welcome your interest in the Tufts Graduate Program in Economics.

We recently introduced a two-track Master of Science program in Economics. The M.S.-Course-Based track is an eight-course program, which can be completed in one year, without a thesis. The M.S.-Research-Based track is a twelve-credit program to be completed in two years, with a master's thesis.

The Economics Master of Science program provides a deep understanding of the theoretical and empirical foundations of economics and the quantitative tools required for research careers in economics. There are three required, two-term core courses for both tracks: microeconomics, macroeconomics, and statistics-econometrics.

Applications for the program are accepted only for the fall semester. Applicants should indicate which track they prefer. However, acceptance into the Research-Based track for the second year is subject to standards of academic performance in the first academic year.
