Students may apply to the department
for admission to either the Master of Science or the Doctor
of Philosophy program of study. Residents of Indiana may
apply for enrollment as post-baccalaureate non-degree students
if they wish to take graduate level course work in agricultural
economics, but prefer not to be enrolled in a regular degree
program. A faculty committee reviews an applicant's credentials
in order to recommend admission to the graduate program.
Each prospective student must provide all of the following:
- an electronic
application
- an application fee of $55 per application
- statement of purpose
- three letters of reference
- Graduate Record Examination Scores
- TOEFL or IELTS( required for all international students)
Transcripts of all previous college coursework (international applicants
must forward an official English translation for each transcript and a copy of
the diploma). Transcripts are mailed to:

Students are expected to demonstrate proficiency in the following five (5)
prerequisite areas. These prerequisites may be satisfied by courses taken
in prior degree programs, or courses may be taken at Purdue University without
credit. Since progress towards the M.S. degree can be delayed by incomplete
preparation (especially in mathematics), students are encouraged to complete prerequisites
prior to enrollment at Purdue. Students are expected to complete these prerequisites
as early as possible in their program and no later than second semester of resident
study.
- Principles of Economics (micro and macro theory equivalent to ECON 251/252)
- Mathematics (differential calculus for M.S., Ph.D. students
also should have mutli variate and integral calculus)
MA 223/224)
- Computer Science (equivalent to CS 145)
- Statistics (equivalent to STAT 301/501/511)
- Knowledge of Matrix Algebra
It is important to recognize that although satisfaction
of the basic academic requirements below does not guarantee graduate
admission, failure to satisfy these requirements may lead to automatic denial
of admission.
