<p>Does anyone know if any of the UCs have five year masters programs in economics? Thanks in advance for any responses.</p>
<p>ya, it's a joint program for those attending UCB, UCD or UCLA and allows them to spend their first 3 years at their original UC and the remaining 2 at UCSC working toward their masters. I believe the masters program at SC is focused on applied economics and finance. go to the UCSC econ department website to check it out, i believe it's listed as "dual degree program".</p>
<p>Actually, at UCLA you can do both your BA and MA at UCLA under the "departmental scholar" program.</p>
<p>anywhere else besides ucsc?</p>
<p>Umm...I did just say UCLA!</p>
<p>Perhaps you are on Quoth's block list, UCLAri. :)</p>
<p>Long time no talk, by the way. Glad to see you in fact got into UCSD's program. I guess you're a forum success story (sort of).</p>
<p>Sort of, eh? I thought getting my BA and then working toward an MA and probably PhD would be considered a fair success.</p>
<p>But around here, if it ain't i-banking/lawyering/medicine, it's abject failure. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Well, I said "sort of" because I'm sure CC wasn't your own source of guidance...</p>
<p>And isn't your field sort of like i-banking anyways? Except without the income?</p>
<p>I have a field? :confused:</p>
<p>I thought I wanted to be a political scientist, but man...that's gone out the window.</p>
<p>Heh, my apologies.</p>
<p>I suppose I just said that about political scientists/IRists because they, like investment bankers, seem to be in the thick of it in terms of knowing about all these real nexuses of power in the world.</p>
<p>Yeah, I figure I have a quarter to burn through before I decide my career track here.</p>
<p>Probably policy. I hear that [url=<a href="http://enterprise.spawar.navy.mil/%5DSPAWAR%5B/url">http://enterprise.spawar.navy.mil/]SPAWAR[/url</a>] is hiring.</p>
<p>I wonder how many Taiwan experts SPAWAR has right now...</p>
<p>Yeah, I heard/read? you say ucla; thing is I hear its econ dept. is uber competitive, and I am being realistic.</p>
<p>does anyone know if the 1 year graduate program at UCSB is for adult learners or for more recent college grads? Also do you generally work and take classes or just take classes full time? i would appreciate any insight :)</p>
