Our Master of Arts in International Economics and Finance (MA) program options feature an innovative curriculum designed around our core strengths in business, economics and finance.
Key Elements
Fall 2 (16 credits)
Spring 2 (16 credits)
Software Proficiency (2-4 credits)
Students must demonstrate proficiency in a data analysis software beyond the intro level R that they learn in Econ 213a, Applied Econometrics. Students will demonstrate this proficiency by successfully completing one of the courses outlined here or by completing a project using one of these platforms.
Capstone (4 credits)
The MA program requires 32 elective credits. These electives allow students to deepen their learning in specific areas. Students may count any 200-level course in Economics, Business or Finance as an elective. MA students may also petition to have coursework from other graduate Brandeis programs count toward the degree in related fields such as policy, data analysis, mathematics or programming.
MA students are encouraged to use 16-20 of their elective credits to complete one of five concentrations.
