The program has a firm commitment to economic theory, but the main focus is on economic policy analysis. Students must complete a core set of requirements that focus on economic theory and analytical tools. They must also complete a policy practicum which requires the application of economic analyses to specific subject areas and policy issues. The program is designed to enable students to identify the economic content of a problem, develop hypotheses, apply appropriate analytical tools and models, and develop policy alternatives. To develop these skills, students perform considerable empirical work, usually related to some issue of current policy significance, in their field courses. Computer literacy, and the ability to communicate ideas clearly through writing and oral reporting, are important by-products of the program's applied emphasis.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 1096  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 1046  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $845  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $15210  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation: Not applicable
