How is the MSBE program differentiated from traditional graduate majors in economics or business administration?
The graduate program in business economics focuses on the application of microeconomic–the function of markets and their pricing activities–as well as macroeconomic (employment, government budgeting, interest rates) analysis in organizational management.

Unlike standard economics programs, the MSBE major emphasizes business case studies in developing and applying these economic tools. There is also a greater emphasis on practical investment and accounting applications in this program, unlike its traditional economics counterpart. The MSBE major inserts a substantial fraction of business applications in its curriculum, a factor that clearly distinguishes it from other traditional economics majors. Because the program integrates advanced economic analysis with respect to the resolution of business problems and strategies, it also represents a departure
