1 year Masters Economics

[Joshua Helios]

I am trying to find out ways to reduce my total budget for masters in economics. So searching for 1 year masters, preferably in the USA. UK works out too costly and I hear tuition waivers, TA/RAs, financial aid or ways to reduce fees are almost non-existent there. I came across a few in the USA claiming a one year span.

Cleveland state university

Kentucky University, Lexington

Western Kentucky university, Gordon ford college of business

Old Dominion University, Virginia

Western Illinois University

Youngstown State University

How are these universities and their programs? Any more I should know of?

Final Aim here: masters to PhD. Want to learn financial economics.

Regards,

Joshua

I think a lot of the California State Universities have one year programs also.

You should consider the MA course at NYU. Although I have heard that its not the best stepping stone to a PhD.

I too am looking for a one year course in economics before I pursue my PhD. My research interests: behavioral & experimental economics.

Its sad to see that very few of the top 25 colleges in the US offer a stand alone MA or MSc in Economics. UK on the other hand has more options.
