Program Overview
This program allows outstanding undergraduates to begin the coursework for the Master of Arts in Economics during their senior year. Students are encouraged to begin planning to enter the Accelerated BBA+MA program early in their undergraduate career, in consultation with their undergraduate academic advisor in the Department of Economics.
Working with the undergraduate and graduate academic coordinators, undergraduates
selected into this program begin a carefully tailored course of study which will allow
them to complete their BBA degree while they also begin the coursework toward their
MA.
Requirements
Below are the admissions requirements and necessary documentation:
- 3.00 minimum grade point average (GPA)
- Two (2) reference letters
- Copy of transcript
- Interview with the graduate academic coordinator in the Department of Economics
Admission
Students must also apply to the Graduate School for the accelerated BBA+MA program, which allows them to take graduate courses in economics. To continue in the program past the BBA, students must apply for full admission into the Graduate School and into the Department of Economics' MA program.
Only in ABM programs, up to 12 hours of graduate course work may be applied to both the undergraduate and graduate programs. However, any graduate coursework will not apply to undergraduate GPA.
