Students with degrees equivalent to a U.S. bachelor?s degree are qualified to apply for admission to the graduate program, though exceptions are made for otherwise highly qualified students. Generally, a minimum 3.0 grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) and some background in economics and quantitative methods is preferred. The coursework most predictive of success in our Master of Science program is intermediate or higher-level undergraduate courses in microeconomics, econometrics, statistics and mathematics. Students with other backgrounds are encouraged to apply, provided they demonstrate a solid grasp of quantitative methods and logical thinking (e.g. high GRE scores, especially quantitative reasoning). Ph.D. program applicants who already earned an MS degree can transfer up to 30 credits in coursework towards the completion of their doctorate (72 credits).
