Developed byNavigating Your Way Through the M.A. Program
It is a relatively straightforward process to set up class sequences in the M.A. program. Core courses should be completed as soon as they are offered. Elective courses should be completed as your schedule permits. Note that elective courses may have one or more core courses as prerequisites. Below are two possible course sequences. The first would apply to Teaching Assistants, who are required to take three courses per semester. The second would apply to GSS, who are required to take two courses per semester. Students who are funded by other means may follow either. To be considered a full-time student, however, you must take at least eight (8) semester hours per semester.
THREE-SEMESTER MA SEQUENCE (Teaching Assistants must follow this sequence):| SEMESTER 1 | SEMSTER 2 | SEMESTER 3 | SEMESTER 4 |
| ECON 5105 | ECON 5120 | ELECTIVE | Co-op students: |
| ECON 5110 | ECON 5140 | ELECTIVE | ELECTIVE |
| ELECTIVE | ELECTIVE | or co-op | ELECTIVE |
FOUR-SEMESTER MA SEQUENCE:
| SEMESTER 1 | SEMSTER 2 | SEMESTER 3 | SEMESTER 4 |
| ECON 5105 | ECON 5120 | ELECTIVE | ELECTIVE |
| ECON 5110 | ECON 5140 | ELECTIVE | ELECTIVE |
Some elective courses are offered every year; others are offered every other year. Please consult this year's course schedule to determine what elective courses are available.
Master's students are permitted to take one graduate course outside of the economics department during their program. They also may, if they have satisfied the prerequisites and have gotten permission of the instructor, choose one or more courses designated for doctoral students.
