MSc in Economics, University of New Mexico

Economics is a fundamental aspect of life because economics is about people, the decisions they make, and the impact of those decisions. As individuals, we make decisions about what career to pursue, where to live, whether or not to exercise, and how important climate change is to us. Firms managed by people choose which products to produce and how to produce them. Governments run by people decide whether and how to regulate these decisions. All of these decisions are tied to economics. At both the undergraduate and the graduate level, our program provides an opportunity to better understand these decisions and the impact of collective decisions more broadly.
