Applicants for graduate programs must have the equivalent of a bachelor\xe2\x80\x99s degree with a minimum GPA equivalent to 3 on a US 4.0 grading scale. Admitted applicants typically have an undergraduate GPA of or better on a 4.0 scale. No exam grade should be lower than 4.5 (European grade scale) or D (American grade scale).
Your GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated using the grades that you received in each course, and is determined by the points assigned to each grade (e.g. for the US grading scale from A-F).

- One semester of introductory microeconomics, passed with at least a B grade.
- One semester of introductory macroeconomics, passed with at least a B grade.
- One semester of undergraduate calculus, or equivalent, passed with at least a B grade.
[Any of these three courses above can be substituted by a CLEP exam with at least 65 points, scaled, or an AP exam with at least a grade of 4.]* - Intermediate economic theory courses [especially Micro] are helpful and desirable, but are not essential. A higher grade in a more advanced course in Micro and Calculus trumps a lower grade in a less advanced course, but a lower grade than B in Intermediate Micro is not acceptable.
