MA Applied Economics — an accredited Master's for people doing this work, not just reading about it.
Online or on campus

Microeconomics, econometrics and policy evaluation applied to business and public decisions — for analysts in agencies, consultancies and firms. Mltio University runs this award on its two honest pathways — online from anywhere, or on campus in Minneapolis — to a single academic standard, with identity-checked assessment on both. This is an academic Master's award; where a field has a licensing or registration route, that remains a matter for your professional body or regulator. You will work through the material as a practitioner-researcher: applied methods, real or anonymised cases, and a supervised capstone or dissertation as the final component. Faculty mark whether you noticed the constraints a slide deck usually hides.
The programme carries 36 credits across four assessed modules. Delivery is tuition-free ($0) on the online pathway. Transcripts use letter grades and a GPA scale consistent with Mltio University awards. No professional-body logo is used in marketing to imply endorsement.
Study online
Every program can be completed fully online with zero tuition fees — study from anywhere in the world.

On-campus study
Prefer to learn at our Minneapolis campus? On-campus delivery includes tuition fees, in-person seminars, and access to university facilities.

Modules are assessed through a published mix of coursework, applied projects, and examinations. Exam windows are announced in advance so students in other time zones are not forced into overnight sittings. Alternative arrangements are available where documented.
The published duration is 24 months. Teaching language: English (Minneapolis campus or tuition-free online; one academic standard). Actual time-to-complete depends on mode and any recognised prior learning.
You may study this award fully online from your country, or — where published — on campus at Mltio. Online study does not require a student visa. Campus study may.
Degree tuition for this award is published as £0 / tuition-free on the online pathway. Examination or administrative fees may apply at checkout — never an annual tuition invoice. Check the Fees page for any extras.
Requirements are grouped on this page (academic, English, documents). Equivalent qualifications are considered. English may be waived after prior English-medium study.
Assessment is typically a mix of coursework, projects, and examinations. Doctoral awards include a thesis or dissertation and an oral examination. Details sit in the programme specification and module outlines.
Recognition of the award for local employment, professional licence, or ministry attestation is decided by your employer or regulator. Mltio University publishes verification pages for certificates. We do not claim automatic equivalence in every country.
