About the course

The on-campus version of the Master of Science in Applied Economics program (ECAM) is a professional master's degree program designed primarily to enhance the professional development of applied economists. The program is not designed to prepare students for PhD programs in economics. The program prepares students to work as analysts in government agencies, private firms, and non-governmental organizations.The ECAM program is an evening program with face-to-face classes on campus in College Park. The ECAM program operates on the standard semester-based academic calendar. The standard time to completion for a full-time student is 4 semesters. The ECAM program's curriculum is identical to that of the ECAO program, but the ECAO program is located off campus in Washington, DC and operates on a quarter-term academic calendar, rather than the traditional semester-based academic calendar.
