4+1 Master of Science in Applied Economics Overview

Business school economics programs focused on the master’s level are rare. ÌÇÐÄviog¹Ù·½Íøվ’s College of Business offers a Master of Science in economics that features intimate interaction with professors and colleagues with very small class sizes. The program is recognized for its top-quality instruction by faculty who have won university teaching awards and whose research is current and relevant.

The 4+1 format offers students the opportunity to earn a Master's in Applied Economics at an accelerated pace. Students accepted into the 4+1 accelerated program begin taking graduate classes during their junior and senior years and can complete the program one year after earning their undergraduate degree. Current ÌÇÐÄviog¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ students who earn a minimum overall GPA of 3.5, may elect to be enrolled in the 4+1 accelerated program once they achieve junior standing - a minimum of 54 credits. Students in these programs who do not qualify for direct admittance to the MS or MPH based on their GPA must apply for acceptance and two letters of recommendation are required.
