<p>Does anyone know anything about BU’s grad school for economics. how competitive is it’s PhD admissions</p>
<p>I’m getting an MA in Economics in 4 days, but I know next to nothing about PhD admissions.</p>
<p>Could you tell me more about the MA program?</p>
<p>You need to take the following eight courses:
EC501: Microeconomic Analysis
EC502: Macroeconomic Analysis
EC507: Statistics for Economists
EC508: Econometrics
4 other 500-level econ electives</p>
<p>Then you need to pass a comprehensive exam that covers the 4 core courses. It should take a total of 2 semesters.</p>
