The MA program in Economics began in 1972, predating the creation of the Graduate School Newark by 3 full years. As such, it is one of the oldest and most successful graduate programs at Rutgers-Newark. The program accepts both full-time and part-time
graduate students. Well-qualified full-time students may be able to
complete the degree requirements within three semesters. Most part-time
students should expect to take two or three years. We strongly suggest
that part-time students take no more than two classes per semester. All
matriculated students must complete their degree within four years of
entering the program. Some graduate courses in economics are also open
to non-matriculated students. But please note that non-matriculated
students will not be allowed to take graduate classes unless they have
taken undergraduate Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Statistics and
Calculus. All entering students are required to have undergraduate classes in micro and macro theory, one semester of statistics, and at least one semester of calculus. The MA Degree in Economics requires the successful completion of 10 three-credit courses, for a total of 30 graduate credits. All students must complete three core courses with an average grade of B or better: Microeconomic Theory* (220:501 or 223:552) *Math for Economists (220:551) or proof of knowledge of
calculus is a prerequisite for this course. The remaining 21 credits may be earned in any other graduate courses in economics or, with the consent of the graduate program director, in related disciplines (such as statistics and mathematics, public administration, global affairs, urban systems and business).
