International and Development Economics Graduate Program
Overview
The rapid pace of globalization has increased the demand for professionals with specialized training in international economics and economic development. The University of San Francisco offers a truly unique Master's degree in International and Development Economics - one that integrates rigorous training in quantitative economics with overseas field study in a developing country.
The goal of this Master's program is to help students understand how market forces can be harnessed to free developing countries from cycles of poverty, and also to understand the importance of institutions that regulate these forces. The program equips students for professional work in international agencies, international business, and non-governmental organizations. Students will be prepared for professional work as development researchers, policymakers and practitioners working alongside the poor in developing countries. Our graduates are also prepared to pursue further studies in international and development economics in a Ph.D. program.
The Department of Economics also offers an M.A. in Economics and an M.S. in Financial Analysis.
