<p>So I am just wondering if one can study economics(masters) without bachelors in economics.</p>
<p>Right now I am a liberal studies student concentrating in Biology and I will be transferring to study Biochemistry or something related to Biology. </p>
<p>I really seem to like economics so far.</p>
<p>People do go into econ grad programs from other fields, but I think this would be most likely from fields like mathematics or statistics. An applicant’s quantitative skills are one of the most important considerations in graduate admissions. Without an undergrad econ major, your chances would be improved if you at least had courses in principles of econ, intermediate econ theory (macro + micro), statistics, and a number of math courses. For a master’s degree, you might get admitted with less math than recommended for doctoral programs.You should check the websites of the particular econ grad programs that interest you to ascertain the admission requirements.</p>
<p>Here’s some info on grad school in econ:
[Econ</a> Grad School](<a href=“http://www.davidson.edu/academic/economics/foley/gradschool.htm]Econ”>http://www.davidson.edu/academic/economics/foley/gradschool.htm)</p>
<p>Depending on what you want to do with the degree, you might consider an applied master’s degree, either business or public policy. [NASPAA</a> - National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration](<a href=“http://www.naspaa.org/]NASPAA”>http://www.naspaa.org/)</p>
<p>Yes you can if you follow zapfino’s advice. But I caution you to be wary of Masters programs in the US. Look for reputable programs in Europe or Canada. LSE, Oxford, Toulouse to name a few.</p>
