The M.A. program is a two-year (four-semester) program, which requires a minimum of 30 credits (of which 21 credits will be required courses) and an M.A. project. The first year is devoted to 18 credits of the core courses in micro, macro, and econometrics. The second year follows with at least 12 additional credits, 6 credits of which will be in a year-long course for the M.A. project. The M.A. project will provide hands-on experience of small research supervised by our excellent faculty.
