I am not sure how these folks create their ranking but I like the fact that USC Economics has a Masters Degree that is ranked #9 in the USA. Over the last year, we have been MS STEM certified and now we are also creating a new MS degree in Spatial Economics and Data Science. This blended degree in urban economics, econometrics and formal GIS training (in partnership with the USC Spatial Sciences Institute) will be a strong program.
