Purdue University offers an innovative online Master’s Degree in Economics designed for individuals with strong analytical backgrounds, such as individuals with undergraduate majors in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) disciplines. In 2015, The Financial Engineer ranked the program in the top 10 percent of all MS degree programs in Economics (13th out of 157 programs). The program combines a first-year common core set of courses in Economic theory and Econometrics with a set of second-year courses that provides a concentration in either Applied Economics/Business or in Advanced Economic Theory. Advantages of a MS Degree in Economics: With expanding access to extensive datasets, both public and proprietary, there is increased value to individuals who have the tools to analyze and interpret economic data, including the ability to apply the results to decision making in managerial and public policy environments. The degree provides students who have strong quantitative skills a foundation for formulating and estimating economic models through the use of econometrics and other quantitative techniques. The Program then builds on this foundation either by offering specific applications of the analysis in various business settings (the Applied Economics/Business concentration) or by offering more in depth theoretical modeling skills (the Advanced Theory concentration).

Academic buildings are mostly concentrated on the eastern and southern parts of campus, with residence halls and intramural fields to the west, and athletic facilities to the north. The Greater Lafayette Public Transportation Corporation (CityBus) operates eight campus loop bus routes on which students, faculty, and staff can ride free of charge with Purdue Identification.


The main campus in West Lafayette offers more than 200 majors for undergraduates, over 70 master’s and doctoral programs, and professional degrees in pharmacy and veterinary medicine. In addition, Purdue has 18 intercollegiate sports teams and more than 900 student organizations.
