Master of Science in Social and Economic Policy

Dual Master's Degree in Applied Economics (CUHK) and Social and Economic Policy (Northwestern)

Modern economic and public-policy decisions demand mastery of quantitative and policy design and implementation methods in a global context. Our pathbreaking dual-degree program—jointly designed by the School of Education and Social Policy at Northwestern University and the Department of Economics at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK)—opens the door to the study of applied economics and its application to real-world policies in both Chinese and US contexts. Students study for 10 months in Sha Tin, Hong Kong, and 7 months in Evanston, Illinois. Upon completion of the program, students receive two masters of science degrees from two top-tier global universities!
