The Economics MA at Fordham
Fordham's Economics Department can grant up to twelve (12) credits (4 courses)
of advanced standing to IPED students who wish to stay on at Fordham in
order to earn a second MA in Economics in addition to their IPED MA. Interested
students, prior to completing their MA in the IPED program, must formally
apply for admission into the Economics MA program (all application fees
are waived). Such an option is useful for students who wish to compliment
a non-economics specialization (international political analysis, international
development studies, or international banking & finance) in their IPED
course work with more specialized training in economics (development economics,
financial economics, monetary economics, or international economics). Others
use this option to further pursue and broaden their economics training
in IPED (international & development economics specialization) with
additional economics course work in their Economics MA Program. With
proper planning, a student can obtain both MA degrees within two years,
including one summer.
