The Economics Graduate Studies Committee evaluates all applications.
Admission decisions are based on prior academic performance (a 3.0 GPA
is required), GRE scores and recent letters of reference. Evaluations
are made after the Department has received all application materials.
Students seeking admission to the Ph.D. program while in the Master's
program at OSU must obtain consent of the Department's faculty. This
process is initiated by a standard application to the Graduate College.
Admission to the Graduate Program in Economics is obtained by submitting a
completed Application for Admission to the Graduate College at Oklahoma State
University (gradcollege.okstate.edu),
transcripts from all collegiate study, and a non-refundable, non-waivable
application fee. Scores for the General Graduate Record Examination (GRE), and
three letters of recommendation are submitted directly to the Department of
Economics. The Graduate
Studies Committee reviews applications when all of the above materials have been
received. The normal admission requirements include an undergraduate grade point
average of 3.0 or above.
Admission to the
Doctoral program requires the completion of a master's degree in economics or
one year of graduate-level course work in economics. Students with graduate work
in related fields will also be considered for admission to the Doctoral program.
International applicants must include evidence of a minimum score of 550 on the
Test of English as a Foreign Language
(TOEFL) and provide confirmation of financial resources.
International
students who are accepted into graduate programs must provide the Graduate
College with a certified English translation of prior diplomas, specifically
stating what degree was granted and when. The Graduate College will only accept
a translation which specifically states that "a degree was granted." Students
are advised to obtain these translations before leaving their home country, or
as soon as possible after entering the graduate program at Oklahoma State
University.
