Congratulations to Marco Mella Cedano for winning this year's Jose Epstein prize for outstanding MA student. Well done!
American University's Masters in Economics is an applied, policy-oriented program that offers five different tracks which master's students can pursue: general, development economics, gender analysis in economics, and financial economic policy.
(1)
The department has an especially rich offering of courses that deal with global economic issues. Most of our faculty have carried out research or taught in other countries and bring that experience to the classroom. The Department of Economics master's course work is designed to prepare students for careers in government agencies, congressional committees, financial institutions, economic consulting firms, think tanks, multilateral organizations, and non-governmental organizations among other institutions, both nationally and abroad. Alumni often secure full-time employment with organizations where they had internships or part-time employment while students. Most graduate level courses are offered in the evening and the master's degree can be completed in either full-time or part-time status.
