A full account of degree requirements and procedures is contained in the Economics student handbook.
To earn the MA in Global Political Economy and Finance, a student must complete a total of 30 credits with a minimum grade point average of 3.0.
There is no written comprehensive examination; the MA degree is awarded for successful completion of the required 30 credits.
A maximum of three credits taken at another university may be granted toward the credit requirement for the master's degree. At least 27 credits must be completed at The New School for Social Research.
Elective Courses
The three electives can be any courses offered by the Department of Economics or courses offered by other departments that are approved by the Economics faculty advisor.
Graduate Minors
Students can use elective courses toward completing one of the university’s graduate minors. These structured pathways of study immerse master's and doctoral students in disciplines outside their primary field and expose them to alternative modes of research and practice. Completed graduate minors are officially recorded on students' transcript.
