Applicants are considered based on evidence of prior performance and potential for success in the program. Students are encouraged to submit Graduate Record Examination scores and letters of recommendation. The undergraduate degree need not be in economics, although a minor in economics is desirable. Students with little background in economics, or other deficiencies, will be required to take certain undergraduate courses that may not be included in the graduate study plan. Students admitted to the program must fulfill the requirements of the College of Graduate Studies and of the Department of Economics.
Financial assistance is available on a competitive basis.
See the College of Graduate Studies section of part 4 for the general requirements applicable to all M.S. degrees.
