Accelerated 4+1 Masters Program

Our 4+1 option is an accelerated M.S. program for exceptional undergraduate students. Students are required to complete 120 credits from their undergraduate program plus 30 master's level credits. Students who can complete the 120 credits for their undergraduate program before the end of their senior year are eligible for the 4+1 program. They are advised to take 9 graduate-level credits during their senior year. 

We recommend that students take either the first two courses in the econometrics sequence (Res-Econ 701 and Res-Econ 702) or the micro sequence (Res-Econ 711 and Res-Econ 712), as well as the Graduate Mathematics course offered in the Economics Department (Econ 751). Students will then take an additional 18 credits during their year in the M.S. program plus 3 credits of RES-ECON 698 for their research field essay. Students may also complete this program with a thesis option by completing three additional research credits and a dissertation. Students interested in the 4+1 program should contact the GPD to express their interest in their junior year so that we can verify that all of the requirements can be met.
