In order to be admitted to the Accelerated Master's Program (AMP) in Economics, IU undergraduates need to complete the following two steps.

Step One: To be considered a candidate for AMP and get automatic Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) approval (exceptions to the requirements listed below will need DUS specific approval) you will need the following.

• 3.0 GPA overall and in major.
• Completed at least 60 credit hours of undergraduate course work.
• B- or better in Math M211 or equivalent.
• Completed ECON E251 or ECON B251.
• Completed one advanced elective for major.

(For Economics this means a course that requires either or both ECON E321 and/or ECON E322 as a prerequisite. For other majors it would mean something equivalent for that major—an elective that has an intermediate foundation course as a prerequisite.) 

• You should see the undergraduate Economics advisor to complete the above screening and to have a note placed in their advising record to indicate your desire to apply to AMP. To contact the advisor, click here:  https://economics.indiana.edu/forms/contact-form.html.

 Step Two: Applying to the master’s program.

• Speak with the Economics department’s director of the master's program (Prof. Alexeev) to gain understanding of course rigor and layout master course schedule.
