Program Quick Facts
The Department of Economics offers both a thesis and non-thesis option Master of Science degree with a concentration in Financial Econometrics or Financial Economics. To build a solid base of understanding, students take foundational courses in microeconomics, macroeconomics and mathematics, then refine those skills in statistics and intermediate economic theory classes. In upper-level courses these reasoning abilities are applied to specific situations, with a particular focus on understanding social problems from an economics perspective. The Economics Research Laboratory at Texas A&M, one of the world's foremost experimental economics research facilities, offers opportunities for students to conduct their own experiments as part of coursework or independent research.
