Program Overview

Because of the strong complementary nature between business and economics, the Carey Business School of Johns Hopkins University and the Applied Economics Program have eliminated the overlap between the MS in Applied Economics and the MBA. You now have an opportunity to earn both the MS degree and the MBA for fewer courses than if pursued separately.

Students interested in the Dual MS in Applied Economics/MBA—including current students of either school—can pursue the degree and attend both Carey & AAP simultaneously. You should apply to the Dual MS in Applied Economics/MBA through Advanced Academic Programs before you graduate.

Program Requirements

Those entering with only a single Calculus course must first take Applied Economics’ 440.304 Mathematical Methods for Economists, a non-credit, full-length course, at half tuition, as the first of nine program courses. Those entering with two Calculus courses may study the extra material on their own.
