Introduction

The Master of Science in Applied Economics and Predictive Analytics (MSAEPA) is a relatively new degree offered by the Department of Economics. Predictive Analytics refers to the process of building models that predict consumer behaviors under different circumstances, and help customize product offerings that better suit the tastes and preferences of consumers. It also refers to building models to predict time series variables of importance to businesses and governments like product sales and tax revenues, and to evaluate competing government programs and business strategies.

The MSAEPA is designed to help meet the burgeoning demand for analytics training on the part of business, government, and non-profits. This degree focuses on economic analysis and decision making, along with strong quantitative training, and brings additional skills not typically provided in analytics programs in Statistics, Engineering, or Business programs. The MSAEPA is a 30 credit hour degree.
