Applying to the Program
Rigorous work in the natural and social sciences at a graduate level requires that students have experience in mathematics and the natural sciences, as well as in the social sciences and economics, before embarking on the PhD program. For this reason (and in order to fulfill prerequisites for the required natural science course sequences), applicants should have outstanding undergraduate records. Generally, requirements include four semesters of college-level social science, including two semesters of economics, and six semesters of college-level math and science. Specifically, all applicants must have successfully completed two semesters of college-level calculus and demonstrate competence in multivariate calculus and linear algebra. Applicants must also have high scores on the GRE with particular emphasis on the quantitative score.
Application Deadline
Complete applications must be received by December 15th, at the latest, for admission for the following fall term. The program does not accept applications for the spring semester.
