If the prospect of a well-paying job as an economist, analyst, or planner in the private or public sectors appeals to you, Illinois State University offers a very special graduate degree in applied economics that you should know about. Our program emphasizes applied economics with a curriculum that links basic economic theory and statistical techniques to "real world" problems faced by decision makers. Students completing the degree are qualified to seek employment in management as professional economists or research analysts. The program is also well suited for individuals who wish to return to school to obtain a graduate degree in a business-related discipline for the purpose of career advancement. While the curriculum is structured as a terminal degree in applied economics, many graduates have advanced to doctoral-level programs in economics and in related disciplines. This sequence provides students training in the financial theory of the firm, financial markets and institutions to complement their training in applied economics analysis. Before enrolling in the sequence, students must consult the Graduate Program Director of the Department of Economics and the MBA Program Office to obtain approval for registering for FIL courses. In order to enroll in FIL courses, students must have satisfied the following requirements: (1) complete ECO 437 with a grade of B or better; (2) have a GPA of 3.0 or higher; (3) complete FIL 404 or equivalent (the student has either taken a similar course at the undergraduate level or passed a proficiency exam administered by the MBA Program Office) before registering for FIL 440.
