MAPE Program : Applicants must submit an original writing sample demonstrating academic and research capabilities.

Candidates may be finishing a B.A./B.S., M.A./M.S., or have some professional experience. All our programs can be completed in 3 or 4 semesters. You should expect coursework to be highly rigorous and technical. An undergraduate degree in economics is not required for any of our programs; however, we do expect an understanding of basic economic principles. The only requirement is that entering students have a full calculus sequence (either calculus II or calculus III, depending on their undergraduate institution’s structure) prior to enrolling. International applicants should indicate corresponding courses in mathematics or mathematical economics.
