An undergraduate degree in economics is not required for admission to the M.A. program, but a strong background in undergraduate economics is highly recommended (principles of economics, intermediate microeconomics, intermediate macroeconomics, and econometrics). Substantial training in college-level calculus and statistics is also recommended (multivariate calculus, linear algebra, and statistics). Applicants will be evaluated on the quality and breadth of their undergraduate preparation for the study of economics at the graduate level.
All international students whose native language is not English or whose undergraduate degree is from an institution in a country whose official language is not English must submit scores of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or IELTS.
Students must submit the following materials to be considered for admissions:
- Resume
- Transcripts from all institutions attended
- Three Letters of Recommendation
- Statement of Purpose
- GRE General Exam
- Scholarly Writing Sample is NOT Required
Additionally, a Skype interview may be required as part of the admissions process.
