MS in Economics

One unofficial transcript from each university attended must be uploaded within the application.

As an international student applicant, you will be required by United States federal regulations to certify that you have sufficient funds to pay for your expenses at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for the entire length of your studies. Prior to admission decisions and offers, you may include information in your application regarding your plans for support (sponsored, self funded, or seeking support) but are not required to provide an official bank statement or letter of support.

Three current letters of recommendation from persons qualified to evaluate your academic and professional qualifications are required.

Your resume should list (a) all post-secondary institutions attended along with the dates of attendance and any degrees received and (b) your relevant work experiences/internships by date.

Please explain why you are interested in attending graduate school and how your academic program and any career experiences have prepared you for a research oriented degree. Students are not expected to have selected a specific field within economics before entering graduate school, but you might describe some of the fields that you find interesting and are considering. You may also include other pertinent information that would help the university understand your interests, your academic background, and your overall preparedness for graduate study.
