Financial
Economics Ph.D. Program
Admission
Requirements
All
students enrolling in the doctoral program must have a bachelors
degree from an accredited college or university. At a minimum,
their undergraduate training must include principles of
economics, money and banking, intermediate microeconomic
and macroeconomic theory, financial management, one year
of statistics, and one semester of calculus. (See foundation
courses listed below). Admission decisions will
be based primarily on the applicants undergraduate
grade point average (GPA), Graduate Record Examination
(GRE) or Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT),
and letters of recommendation. Preferred levels of performance
will be a 3.0 GPA, 1100 (combined raw scores for verbal and quantitative) on the GRE, or 550 on the
GMAT. These levels will be viewed as general guidelines
since particular strength in one set of credentials may
be viewed as sufficient to offset a modest deficiency elsewhere.
Additionally, international students must score a minimum
of 600 on the TOEFL Exam.
