Just one year after launching, the online M.A. in Economics is celebrating its first graduating cohort. And these students did not wait until graduation to put what they have learned to work!

One is building a revenue forecast for the Idaho legislature. Another is using econometrics to better understand labor market challenges in Zambia. Others are deepening their understanding of economic policy and preparing to transition into new fields.

They joined the program from different industries, locations and stages of life. Now, they all share a stronger ability to use data to understand the decisions shaping the world around them.

Meet the program's first 18 students who are setting the standard for every cohort that comes after them. 🎓🐊
