New Penn Master's in Applied Economics and Data Science (MEDS)

I am thrilled to announce that Penn's newly-launched Master's in Applied Economics and Data Science (MEDS) is now accepting applicants for entry in August 2026. 

For information on curriculum, the application process, and faculty (including our fantastic newly-hired Executive Director, Mike Lipsitz), see https://www.lps.upenn.edu/degree-programs/meds. 

Inquiries are already arriving, and there are only thirty spots, but please continue to spread the word to potential students! We firmly believe -- and it seems that students are surely appreciating -- that Penn Economics is uniquely positioned to train leaders for the 21st century at the applied economics + data science interface.
