The economics department offers a variety of graduate courses toward the completion of a Master of Arts degree.
Applicants to the M.A. program are expected to submit scores from the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) and prior coursework that demonstrates an aptitude for graduate study in economics. Students often have strong undergraduate training in economics, but some students have a strong quantitative background and little training in economics. Students whose native language is not English are also required to take the TOEFL examination. Admissions preference is given to students with TOEFL scores in the range of 100 (ITOTL) or above. Graduate assistantships and University Fellowships are not awarded to students studying for the M.A. degree or other non-terminal disciplinary degree. Courses available on a regular basis include microeconomic and macroeconomic theory, mathematical economics, public finance, economic development, international economics, and health economics. A student with strong undergraduate training and a good grasp of English who is able to study full time will be able to complete the degree in one calendar year. Students whose first language is not English, or who have little background in economics, typically require three semesters plus a summer.
