This 60-point degree program is intended for individuals who already have a graduate degree in a related field, and who would like to build upon that foundation with additional training in Economics and Education. Required coursework mirrors the requirements for the M.A. degree but gives students room to take more advanced courses in the economics and education concentration and related degree Programs (including the other Programs in EPSA as well as relevant courses in other Departments/Programs). https://www.tc.columbia.edu/education-policy- and-social-analysis/economics-and-education/degrees/master-of- education-in-economics-and-education-econ/

All applications to enter the degree program are evaluated on an individual and holistic basis. However, the curriculum of the program assumes that students have some previous coursework (at least at the undergraduate level) in economics and basic statistics, possess intellectual maturity, and demonstrate an interest in education policy and practice. Compelling applications for admission demonstrate the applicant’s capacity for success and also clearly explain how the Economics and Education curriculum fits with the applicant’s past experiences and future goals.
