    Program overview

    What the University of Colorado Denver says about their program:
    "The M.S. program in Health Economics provides graduate-level training in economics, specifically in the economics of the health care industry. Our M.S. program emphasizes extensive training in mathematical and quantitative analysis, including substantial exposure to applied econometrics, working with large and diverse data sets, and a wide range of statistical software. All our econ programs are classified as STEM fields.


    The M.S. in Health Economics builds off the strengths of the Economics Department, which is housed in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and the Department of Health Systems, Management and Policy (HSMP), which is housed in the Colorado School of Public Health, allowing students to take courses on both the downtown Denver and Anschutz Medical campuses. The curriculum equips students with an applied interdisciplinary skill set that integrates creative knowledge with the technical expertise that is in demand in the health care industry, enhancing their career and professional development, and provides those pursuing advanced degrees an edge in gaining admission to top-flight Ph.D. programs."
