Early Admission to the Master’s of Arts Program in Economics
What are you planning to do after you receive your B.A. in Economics? Have you considered pursuing a Master’s Degree in Economics at UT? If so, note an opportunity existing for UT Economics majors only:
UT Economics 4 +1 Program—fast track Unique Opportunity Only for UT Economics Majors: Early Admission to our One Year Master’s Program
- UT Economics One Year Master’s Program: 8 courses (4 each semester) + Faculty Advised Master’s Paper
- UT undergraduate students in Economics may register for 2 courses at the graduate level.
- Since these 2 courses will count at the undergraduate and graduate level, you’ll be able to “double-dip” courses across your undergraduate and graduate degree requirements in Economics.
- Therefore after completing the Early Admission Program you can complete 25% of the M.A. degree coursework (2 of 8 courses) as an undergraduate, requiring only 3 courses each semester to receive the M.A. Degree in Economics.
- This means that within two semesters of graduating with your B.A. degree you could receive your Master’s Degree in Economics: 4 (B.A.) + 1 (M.A.)—fast track.
