Accelerated 4+1 Masters Program

Our 4+1 option is an M.S. program for exceptional undergraduate students. Students require 120 credis from their undergraduate program plus 30 master’s level credits. Students who are able to complete the 120 credits for their undergraduate program before they complete 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) and the Graduate Mathematics courses 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 by completing three additional research credits and a dissertation. Students interested in the 4+1 program should contact the GPD to express interest in their Junior year so that we can verify that all of the requirements can be met.
