1) Applicants must have completed or must be in the final year of a four-year or honors degree program, or equivalent, with a B+ standing in the final year of that program.
2) Strong preparation in economics, including full-year courses in both intermediate-level micro and macro theory, and full-year university-level courses in each of calculus and statistics. Previous training in finance is useful but not required. Achievement of these minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance into the program. Preference is given to students who have completed, with high standing, advanced-level courses in any or all of economics, mathematics, and econometrics.
