Applied Economics & Statistics (MS) at Clemson University

Students who earn a Master of Science (MS) in Applied Economics and Statistics (AES) learn to apply economic theory, design experiments or surveys, estimate econometric models, and test hypotheses with inferential statistics to analyze human behavior, business practice, or government policy. The behavior, practice, or policy might relate to agriculture, banks, credit markets, environ­mental or natural resource management, forestry, health care, insurance, marketing, property rights, regional economic growth, regulation, stock markets, sports businesses, or sustainable development. 

The faculty endeavor to create an environment conducive for learning, scholarship, and career preparation.  Economic faculty from the Department of Agricultural Sciences, the John E. Walker Department of Economics, and statisticians from the Dept. of Mathematical Sciences teach the required and most of the elective courses.  The Department of Agricultural Sciences is the administrative home of the program.
