Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
You need the following GPA score:
Applicants for graduate programs must have the equivalent of a bachelor\xe2\x80\x99s degree with a minimum GPA equivalent to 2.85 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).
Admission Requirements:
- Junior/Senior GPA of at least 2.85 (on a 4.0 point scale)
- International applicants who do not have a baccalaureate or equivalent degree from an English-speaking institution of higher education in the United States or other approved countries, such as Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom (see International Admissions for details), are required to submit TOEFL scores. The minimum TOEFL score required to be admitted to the Economics Graduate Program is 80 for the internet-based test (550 for the paper-based test), or 6.5 for the IELTS test, or 53 for the PTE test.
- Applicants meeting the minimum GPA and language requirement but lacking some foundation courses will be granted provisional admission status until all foundation courses are completed with grades of \xc2\x93B\xc2\x94 (3.0 on a 4.0 point scale) or above.
- New Economics graduate students will be admitted only to the MS Economics Program (non-thesis option). After completing nine (9) hours of coursework in the Master\xc2\x92s in Economics program, a student may submit a written request to the Economics Graduate Program Committee (GPC) to transfer from the MS program to the MA (thesis option) program. Students are strongly encouraged to seek the advice of the Economics Graduate Program Advisor prior to submitting the written request. The student\xc2\x92s request should include a thesis proposal written in consultation with a student-identified main thesis advisor (must be a tenure-track faculty in the economics department) who will serve as the chair of the thesis committee. In addition, the student should include an unofficial graduate transcript, a writing sample, and any other relevant information in the request. The GPC, based on its evaluation of the student\xc2\x92s potential to complete a quality master\xc2\x92s thesis, will approve or deny this request. If the GPC denies the student\xc2\x92s request to transfer to the MA program, the student may submit a second (and final) written request to transfer to the MA program with supporting materials to the GPC after he/she has completed 18 credit hours of coursework in the Master\xc2\x92s in Economics Program.
