Devoting efforts to better serve the needs of our undergraduate and graduate students by engagement, cutting edge research, and academics
Having been pioneers in the development of this program as a stand-alone, day time program based on specializations in areas like Financial Economics, International Economics, and Law and Economics, and Quantitative Methods which are now emulated by many other schools, we remain particularly proud of the strong mix of analytical skills and practical insights we offer to our students in the program which make them excellent candidates for employment in the private sectors or admission to first rate PhD program. We hope you will follow some of the relevant developments in our MA/MS program by continually visiting our web site and by attending the social gatherings we are planning for you. Meantime, however, let share with you the labor market data you may be pleased to see.

In the Department of Economics at the University at Buffalo, the basic objective of our focus on applied economics is to train students to apply economic analysis in several fields at the boundary of economics and other specialties. We develop professionals who understand the work that economists do and, more important, who have the ability to apply economic analysis to a broad range of problems in their future careers.
