MS in Applied Economics and Management Degree

Earn your applied economics master’s degree at the dyson school.

Take a deep dive into applied economics and management with a research-focused graduate degree.

Among its rigorous, research-intensive graduate programs, the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management offers a two-year, residential Master of Science program.

Rooted in applied research with an eye toward using business to make the world a better place, our MS in Applied Economics and Management is ideal for business-minded students interested in pursuing careers in research, consulting, and academia.

Why Earn an MS in Applied Economics and Management at the Dyson School?

As you explore applied economics graduate programs at the Dyson School, you might be wondering about the differences between the MS and the MPS—and which is right for you. Here’s a side-by-side comparison:

Master of Science in AEM

The MS in AEM is a two-year, research-focused graduate degree. The MS can also prepare you for continued study at the PhD level.

Master of Professional Studies in AEM

The MPS in AEM is a shorter-term, career-focused graduate program designed to prepare you for various economics-related fields.

If you see yourself in an economics-rooted, research-driven role—whether in academia, consulting, or another sector—pursuing your MS in Applied Economics and Management at one of the top business schools in the country is a wise choice. 

After earning the MS in AEM , our graduates have earned PhDs in areas like accounting, food and nutrition policy, applied economics, marketing, and management. Our MS alumni also have pursued careers as analysts, consultants, and research associates in a range of sectors and specialties.

Our curriculum: required ms aem courses.

As a Master of Science in Applied Economics and Management student at Dyson, your degree requirements will vary based on several factors, including your undergraduate coursework, your career goals, your research interests, and any plans to continue your education beyond the MS. But no matter what your trajectory, you can expect your Dyson experience to include:

During your first and second semesters, you’ll take a selection of graduate-level applied economics and management classes that explore topics such as production economics, consumer demand, and policy analysis. You’ll also attend engaging seminars with visiting lecturers.

The MS in AEM program offers the flexibility to choose a specialization area, which opens you up to a wide variety of classes. Plus you’ll have a chance to choose from hundreds of electives from across the college and throughout Cornell University.

If you plan to pursue a PhD, we suggest you take at least two 3000- or 4000-level math and statistics classes, such as Linear Algebra, Statistical Methods 1, or Introduction to Analysis. These courses prepare you for the world of big data.

The heart of any research-based master’s program is the thesis. You’ll spend nearly a year working under the guidance of a faculty mentor exploring an AEM topic you’re passionate about. Before you graduate, you’ll defend your thesis via an oral examination.

A Sample Schedule: What You’ll Learn and When

After you build a foundation in graduate-level coursework in applied economics and management , including your core, elective, and specialization classes, you’ll spend most of your second year deeply involved in your thesis research. Here’s an example of how that might look for you:

Year One: An Example

Fall AEM 6080: Production Economics AEM 6120: Applied Econometrics AEM 6700: Economics of Consumer Demand Math class of your choice Electives AEM 7030: Policy seminars

Spring AEM 6010: Writing Competitive Research Proposals AEM 6300: Policy Analysis: Welfare Theory, Agriculture, and Trade AEM 7100: Econometrics I Math class of your choice Electives

Summer Begin thesis research

Year Two: An Example

Fall AEM 8900: Thesis research Electives

Strategy and Business Economics

The economics group at Johnson seeks to better understand the real world by using modern tools and methodologies.

Research encompasses industrial organization, behavioral, labor, and organizational economics. Within these fields, there is a particular—although by no means exclusive—emphasis on applied theory.

PhD students in economics at Johnson are fully part of the broader economics community at Cornell. For example, students take the majority of their coursework in Cornell’s Arts and Sciences economics department and also receive the complete support and benefits of that department when seeking employment upon graduation. At the same time, by being part of a business school, students are exposed to research and teaching that is motivated by applied issues that are relevant to business schools as well as economics departments and industry.

Applicants interested in the Johnson PhD program in economics should complete their application for admission to the graduate field of economics at  gradschool.cornell.edu/admissions/applying/apply-now . They should indicate, in their statement of purpose, that they are interested in working with Johnson faculty members.

Learning Outcomes

The crucial outcome of graduate study in the Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management is the identification, conceptualization, resolution of, and recommendations for important economic problems of a local, regional, national and global nature. To this end, the Dyson graduate student is trained in a problem centric environment to examine issues from an economic point of view, generating hypotheses based on economic principles, and empirically testing these hypotheses. The key learning objective is to create lifelong learners and independent thinkers with a toolkit of sufficient sophistication to adapt to problems as they arise.

At the MS level, we seek sufficient rigor in thesis research as a transitional phase to doctoral research or employment in the private or public sectors. At the doctoral level we seek the highest quality of research with the aim of publishing research in high quality journals and making sure that our students can be placed in leading academic departments.

Proficiencies that are required to be demonstrated by the candidate (both MS and PhD):

Make an original and substantial contribution to the discipline:

• Show your ability of independent thinking and creativity
• Identify new research opportunities in field

The ability to acquire and communicate advanced research skills

• Bring together existing knowledge, identify, and seek out resources, information
• Evaluate and apply your own research findings as well as those of others. Apply research findings as appropriate
