Accelerated Masters Degree in Resource Economics (4+1)

Our 4+1 is an MSc program for exceptional undergraduate students. Students require 120 credits from their undergraduate program plus 30 master’s level credits. Students who are able to complete the 120 credits for their undergraduate program before they complete their senior year are eligible for the 4+1 program. They are advised to take 9 graduate-level credits during their senior year.

We recommend that students take either the first two courses in the econometrics sequence (ResEc 701 and ResEc 702) or the micro sequence (ResEc 711 and ResEc 712) and the Graduate Mathematics course offered in the Economics department (Econ 751). Students will then take an additional 18 credits during their year in the MS program plus three credits of ResEcon 698 for their research field essay. Students may also complete this program with a Thesis by completing three additional research credits and a dissertation. Course descriptions can be found here.

Students interested in the 4+1 program should contact their academic advisor and the Graduate Program Director to express interest in their Junior year so that we can verify that all of the requirements can be met.  For more detailed information about eligibility, timelines, and application materials please refer to this Resource Economics 4+1 Application Procedures
