Academic and Financial Preparation for Admission
Completion of a four-year baccalaureate degree, or its equivalent from a non-U.S. institution with a minimum 3.0 GPA on a 4-point scale, are part of the basic admission requirements at the university. Competitive applicants to our Master of Science programs typically have completed coursework in:
- economics through both intermediate microeconomic and intermediate macroeconomic theory
- at least one course in statistics
- one course in calculus
- one course completion in linear algebra is suggested
- GRE is not required for admissibility effective Fall 2023; for those interested in submitting their scores, 70th percentile GRE Quantitative Reasoning score reflects the test taker's level of knowledge and is a strong signal of their future success in this program.
