Georgia Tech Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts

Grounded in applied economic theory and econometrics, this is a three-semester program that prepares students for professional careers in the private and public sectors as well as for more advanced training in economics doctoral programs. The program is particularly well suited to those interested in industrial organization, technology, innovation, international trade, and economic development.

Core courses in the program require that students take microeconomic and macroeconomic theory, research methods, probability and statistics, and econometrics. Students must also complete four courses that reflect two areas of concentration consistent with their interests. Some of these may be courses in units in the College of Management, the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, the School of Public Policy, the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering, and the School of City and Regional Planning.
