Program Requirements & Policies
In addition to the policies that
apply to graduate students at Miami (as described
in University Handbook for Graduate Students and Faculty),
the Economics Department has approved the following:
- To graduate, students must earn a 3.0 GPA in the
25 credit hours of required course work during the
fall and spring semesters. With prior approval of
the Director of Graduate Studies, up to six additional
hours of graduate work may be included in the GPA
calculation. ECO 690 (Master's Research) is not included
in calculation of the GPA.
- To be eligible for a graduate assistantship, a
student must be enrolled in all of the M.A. economics
curriculum during the Fall and Spring semesters unless
the Director of Graduate Studies gives written permission
to do otherwise.
- At the end of each academic year, the faculty will
be asked to provide performance evaluations of their
graduate assistants to the Director of Graduate Studies.
Each student will receive a copy of his/her performance
evaluation(s).
