The M.A. program is open to men and women from both the United States and other countries with sound quantitative backgrounds and a good command of the English language. Applicants are expected to submit scores from the GRE and prior course work that demonstrates an aptitude for graduate study in economics. Students generally have strong undergraduate training in economics, but that is not a requirement. (For example, some students have a strong quantitative background and little training in economics.)
