Applying to the M.A. in Economics and Entrepreneurship for Educators

The MAEEE program admits a cohort every two years (in odd years). The application deadline is February 1 of those odd years. Admissions decisions will be made by March 1.

Depending on when you apply, the online application system may not yet offer the upcoming term. You may choose the term available in the application system, and you will be added to the appropriate cohort when it becomes available.

Note: GRE or GMAT examination scores are not required of MAEEE applicants. International applicants who received their undergraduate degree from a non-English-speaking institution must submit TOEFL examination results.

2. Bachelor’s Degree

A four-year U.S. bachelor’s degree in any academic field from an accredited college or university with a GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale is required. If you have a three-year non-U.S. degree, you may request a review for determination as to equivalency.
