Comprehensive Exam Info

The Comprehensive Masters Examination fulfills the culminating experience requirement for the Masters of Economics program. Passing the Comprehensive Examination is required for graduation unless you select the thesis option as a culminating experience.

Students interested in pursuing the Thesis option are responsible for finding a Thesis adviser and assembling a committee. Generally, students who do not have a GPA of at 至少3.5 should not expect to be able to assemble a thesis committee. 所有硕士生 write a full-length manuscript as a part of the required course, ECON 205, and many field courses require class papers. Each year many of our non-thesis students publish essays for scholarly and general audiences.

Comp exams are on the first Fridays of May and December.
