Up to three non economics courses may be accepted as electives in our Master's programs if they are judged to be closely related courses. Thus, an applicant for admission to the Ph.D. program with an MBA degree may be granted course waivers for up to three related non economics courses toward completing the master's equivalency requirement. The basic microeconomics and macroeconomics courses required in most MBA programs will normally not be the basis of any course waivers. Additional course waivers may be granted for advanced graduate economics courses taken as part of a prior graduate program. Many full time students receive financial aid in the form of fellowships, scholarships, or research assistantships.
Students also work with faculty as part of a student faculty research team.
Such experience provides practical, applied skills and experience so critical in the job market.
