Students may take advantage of the overlap of courses in the BA and MA programs to receive their MA degrees in a shorter period than it would otherwise be possible.<br><br>The BA program in economics requires that students take 9 upper division elective courses. Students in the BA/MA program may take elective courses that would satisfy both the BA and MA requirement. Students should be economics majors and apply to the program during their junior year. To apply their GPA needs to be above 3.25. Students will also be required to maintain a high GPA (3.0) to remain in the program. The grade requirements for an MA in economics will apply to courses that are counted toward the MA degree. The BA/MA program in economics requires that students take the GRE exam.<br><br>Interested students should download the paper application form from http:/gradschool.fiu.edustudent-forms.shtml, obtain the signature of the graduate director, and deliver the application and the 30.00 application fee to the Graduate School Office.
