Analytical Economics Major (B.S.) Spotlight

The professors and students here are honestly SO passionate. And the advisors–even the deans!–are always willing to go that extra mile for you. Honestly, I've found pretty much every person I've met at UNH is a genuinely kind person.

Coming straight from my undergraduate studies here at Paul College, I knew this was the perfect timing to pursue an advanced degree — there's a certain momentum that carries you forward when you transition directly from undergrad to graduate school.     Why I Chose UNH's M.S. in Economics Program…

My time at UNH has been incredible. I wouldn't change it for the world.

Growing up in Northwestern Pakistan, I was always fascinated by economics. I loved how it explained real-world issues and made sense of the socioeconomic problems around us.
