Lehigh University’s College of Business offers a STEM-designated MS degree in Applied Economics. It is a relatively rare economics program because it is one of the few business school programs that is completely focused on the Masters level. While there is the option to apply to continue toward a Ph.D., the focal point of this program is on the Master's degree itself.
Location
Lehigh's campus lies in Eastern, PA, just 60 minutes from Philadelphia and only 90 minutes from New York City.
