Admission Requirements

Academic Requirements

Applicants should have completed course work in microeconomics, macroeconomics, statistics, and basic calculus, and must have a minimum B average in undergraduate work. The department has considerable experience in working with students who do not have undergraduate majors in economics or resource economics. In our experience, many who study resource economics for a M.S. degree in the Department of Environmental and Natural Resource Economics have taken undergraduate degrees in fields other than economics, agricultural economics, or resource economics. In recent years, we have had M.S. students with backgrounds in physics, biopsychology, biology, zoology, history, English, psychology, and engineering. Some of these students have come to our program after job experiences or public service which have convinced them of the importance of resource and environmental economics in public policy formation. Others have developed their interests too late in their undergraduate careers to conveniently adjust their majors. We welcome these students because often they have insights, skills and knowledge about the physical and biological world that combines well with the subject matter of resource and environmental economics. We take pride in having the program flexibility that allows us to develop individual programs for such students and then to produce graduates who are competitive with their peers at other first-rate departments throughout the world.Following subsections provide basic information on the requirements for M.S. degree program. For more details and up to date requirements, please refer to Graduate School Manual (GSM).Please note that while we make every effort to keep the contents below up to date, where there are any discrepancies the contents in Graduate School Manual will dominate.

English Proficiency: IELTS 6.5 or equivalent.
