  • The M.A. in Economics, also known as the Graduate Program in Economic Development (GPED), is a STEM-designated program that prepares students for both domestic and international careers in economic development.
  • Though the program provides a solid theoretical foundation for students who intend to pursue a Ph.D. in economics, the GPED is designed primarily for students seeking a professionally oriented, terminal master’s degree. 
  • Their program has a strong international focus and enrolled students usually represent at least 10 different countries, including the U.S.
  • They accept students from a variety of academic and professional backgrounds.
  • As a result, the GPED is a diverse and inclusive environment.
  • Students form a tight-knit, supportive family whose connections extend far beyond their two years at Vanderbilt.
