MS in Commerce and Economic Development

The Master of Science in Commerce and Economic Development provides the knowledge and tools to confidently guide private and public decision-making in the context of increasingly borderless global markets. The program provides in-depth knowledge of the financial, regulatory, and economic environments and institutions that affect the global economy, applying the lens of applied economics to help you develop and hone skills that include: quantitative methods in economic theory, policy analysis, and research; data collection and interpretation; the evaluation of pricing, output levels, and labor markets; and the analysis of the impact of art, culture, and environmental resources on economic development. Your training is capped by an experiential placement that synthesizes classroom learning and hands-on application, harnessing real-world problems to help you to bring theory to life.

This program is based in Boston, MA.
