Overview

Quantitative Economics at California Lutheran University is flexible enough to be done over three years allowing working professionals the opportunity to increase their human capital while maintaining their careers. All classes occur during the evening.

The goal of the program is to create a professional economist. This is a person who can speak and write the language of economics, is able to manipulate economic models, collect the relevant data to conduct empirical studies, and is proficient at communicating the results of their analysis to other economists as well as to the general public. While these should be the goals of any master’s level program in economics, our program goes farther. We add a forecasting component: graduates will be able to design economic forecast models, program them on a computer, and present the results to a public audience.

Careers

M.S. Quantitative Economics program graduates will be well prepared to accept jobs in the economics, banking, corporate finance, public finance, money management, forecasting, marketing, and real estate fields. They will be particularly strong in financial analysis and risk management, data analysis and empirical computations including model design, database design, statistical estimation, and forecasting.
