On behalf of the Department of Economics at the
University of Texas at Austin, I am writing to introduce you to our new
one-year Master's program. We have
specially designed a terminal Master's degree with a 10-month, 10-course
curriculum for students seeking rigorous training in economic theory and
analytical methods.
An undergraduate degree in Economics is not required for
applicants. A strong quantitative
background, along with some exposure to economics courses, is expected.
The program is suitable for students with any of the
following goals: (i) Qualifying for jobs in the private or government sector
that require greater expertise in economic, analytical, and statistical tools
than provided by an undergraduate degree; (ii) Obtaining the background in
economics and mathematics required to gain admission to a high-quality
economics PhD program; or, (iii) Studying economics as a complementary field to
another area of expertise (law, political science, public health, statistics,
energy, etc.).
The first application deadline is February 15, 2013, and
classes start July 15, 2013. We are
looking forward to welcoming our first cohort of Master's students in summer
2013!
Please do not hesitate to contact us at ma-econ@austin.utexas.edu if you
have any questions about the program.
