The 120 credits taken for your BS will include up to 12 credits of advanced coursework that will be applied to the MS requirements of 30 credits (see Sample Plans of Study). This includes two graduate level classes to be taken in Fall of your senior year:

5201. Microeconomics (must have previously taken MATH 1071Q or 1131Q or 1151Q or a similar calculus course and STAT 1000Q or 1100Q or similar statistics courses)

5311. Applied Econometrics I (must have previously taken ARE 3333 (offered every Fall semester))

To be eligible to apply, students should: 

• have officially expressed interest in the Accelerated Program by December 31st of their junior year
• have completed the following prior to the second semester of their junior year:
  • MATH 1071Q or 1131Q or 1151Q or a similar calculus course
  • STAT 1000Q or 1100Q or similar statistics courses
  • ARE 3333 (offered every Fall semester)
• have a minimum GPA of 3.0

1. Officially express interest by filling out and submitting the ARE - Accelerated MS Program Application of Interest no later than December 31st of your junior year. You'll be asked to include your unofficial transcript and a personal statement explaining your interest in entering the program. (Please note that this form is not an official application to the MS program and does not result in a decided admittance or denial. This process will occur via your Grad School application in your senior year.)
2. Upon submittal, a Letter of Recommendation request will be sent to your academic advisor. Your application is not complete until this is received.
3. Once your packet is received, reviewed and approved by the committee, your advisor will work closely with you to ensure your course schedules are organized to meet the needs of the program. This includes the requirement to take ARE 5311 and ARE 5201 in the Fall semester of your senior year.
4. You must officially apply to our Master’s program in your senior year via the standard UConn Graduate School application process. Make sure to choose the ‘Accelerated or 4+1’ program as the Enrollment Cohort to ensure that the application fee and GRE requirement will be waived.

The sooner you let us know you're interested, the more we can help you navigate through the process.  Please let your faculty advisor know about your intention ASAP as this will affect the sequence of courses recommended for your sophomore year.
