Both are designed to offer choices and flexibility and include courses at Stern as well as in the highly-regarded economics department at the College of Arts and Science (CAS).

Economics further provides you with invaluable insights on how to modify your strategies to take full advantage of benign shocks and govern the impact of adverse disturbances.Econometrics & Quantitative Economics is a STEM-eligible program and will acquaint you with the analytical toolkit of the modern professional economist, which includes coding, statistical methods, and advanced mathematics. These courses may be of interest to you if you are considering graduate school in economics or finance as well as looking to develop a sound foundation in modern quantitative skills. Students are also encouraged to consider further mathematics and programming courses. EQE graduates pursue higher-level degrees or gain employment at hedge funds, economics research outfits, technology companies, and top consulting firms.
