Program Overview

At American University, our policy-centered curriculum is taught by esteemed economists and scholars who have studied key economic and societal issues such as how to best serve children in foster care and prevent sex trafficking, and the gains and losses from trade protection.

As you earn your online Master of Arts in Economics, Applied Economics degree, they’ll prepare you to analyze data and human and organizational behavior, interpret economic models, test hypotheses, and apply your analysis to economic policy — skillsets in demand for careers across virtually every industry, including finance, healthcare, nonprofit, and academia.

Our graduates are able to communicate critical information and policy recommendations to a wider audience that includes legislatures, advocates, interest groups, lobbyists, and legislative aids that write the text of the law.

Graduates also qualify to sit for the Certified Business Economist (CBE) exam by the National Association for Business Economics (NABE).
