About the course

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. The program provides students the solid grounding in economic theory and the working knowledge of advanced quantitative methods needed to succeed as business economists, market or financial analysts, economic researchers, government staff economists, or economic consultants. In contrast to traditional, purely academic 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. Courses emphasize the application of economic theory and the use of quantitative techniques rather than their theoretical underpinnings. Communication skills also are stressed through frequent written and oral presentations and applied projects. The program is usually completed in three or four semesters.

　　The Marketing Research Specialization is designed for students interested in a career in marketing research and market analysis, working either for marketing research consulting companies, or in marketing research departments of companies in the service, manufacturing or financial sector. It combines the applied econometric and forecasting courses taught in the economics core with courses in marketing management, marketing research, and other traditional marketing areas.
