Master of Economics Admission Requirements

The Michigan Tech Graduate School collects student applications for each department on campus. Visit their How to Apply page when you are ready to proceed with the application process. Once the applications are complete, they are passed on to the School of Business and Economics. 

Deadlines

Applications to apply to the Master of Applied Natural Resource Economics are considered as they are received, once they are complete. However, financial assistance is usually awarded by mid-March (see the Financial Aid website). To be considered for assistance at that time, your completed application must begin review up to 1.5 months earlier, so all materials should be in by the end of January (somewhat earlier for foreign applicants).
