M.A. in Economics

 

MA-Econ-Home-0724

Email GraduatePrograms@gcc.edu or call 724-458-2027.

Grove City College's 30-credit online Master of Arts in Economics program advances students in pursuing Ph.D. studies in economics as well as their vocations in the fields of market analysis, organizational and institutional design, and public policy.

The M.A. in Economics is an extension of the College's undergraduate program in economics, which grounds economic analysis on the foundation of an understanding of who we are as human beings and the consequences of various ways we associate with each other in society today. Grove City graduates are not only technically proficient in employing the tools of economic reasoning, they grasp the broader social context within which they analyze issues we face in our ever-changing social landscape. Their economic analysis is enriched by the wisdom they gain from having a broader and deeper understanding of the world in which they live.

The program begins in the fall of 2025, with enrollment occurring on rolling basis.
