MS in Applied Economics and MBA Dual Degree

Program Overview

Because of the strong complementary nature between business and economics, the Carey Business School of Johns Hopkins University and the Applied Economics Program have eliminated the overlap between the MS in Applied Economics and the MBA. You now have an opportunity to earn both the MS degree and the MBA for fewer courses than if pursued separately.

Program Requirements

Those entering with only a single calculus course must take in their first semester Math Methods for Economists – AS.440.304, a three undergraduate credit, full-length course, at half tuition. The course does not count toward the degree. In order to waive the Math Methods for Economists course, evidence of multivariable calculus is required.

International Students in this Dual Degree

International students are eligible for F-1 sponsorship while pursuing this dual degree program. If you change from the dual degree to the MBA only, visa sponsorship will not be possible because the MBA is a part-time program – part-time programs are not eligible for F-1 sponsorship. All F-1 authorizations for students in a dual degree are based on the full-time AAP degree program. Contact the Office of International Services if you have any questions: ois@jhu.edu.
