Welcome to the website of
the Central European University's
U.S. Accredited Economics MA Program!
 
The U.S. accredited two-year MA program in Economics was launched in 1994/5. The program is registered in the U.S. by the Board of Regents of the  New York State Education Department. The program is fully integrated and overlapping with our new two-year Hungarian accredited Master program. Students accepted into the MA in Economics are first enrolled into the US accredited program. At the enrollment they can opt to enroll into the Hungarian accredited program as well. By
choosing this option they have to satisfy some additional requirements.   
 
The language of teaching and administration is English. Each year 40-45 students are admitted into the program. The Fall and Winter terms of the first year cover the core of mainstream economics (Mathematics, Statistics, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Econometrics). The spring term and the second year offer more advanced and specialized field courses in various topics, after which students write and defend their Master's thesis.
 
The program provides the skills necessary for research and analyst positions at government and international agencies, banks and other private firms, and also prepares students for continuing their
studies at the best Economics Ph.D. programs around the world.
