Funding information for international students

All Ph.D. applicants who wish to be considered for a fellowship must submit all application materials by December 15 . The Admissions Committee will review all applications received by this deadline and nominate students to the appropriate committees for review. Fellowship recipients are notified in mid to late February and have until April 15 to accept offers.

To be considered for other departmental funding, applications must be received by January 15 . Outstanding applicants to the graduate program are considered for full funding in the form of stipends, tuition remission and health insurance associated with teaching and research assistantships or fellowships. No special application is required. We seek a good match between the applicant’s research interests and the projects being carried out in the department.

Selected admitted applicants will receive funding offers starting in March. We regret that we cannot make offers to all admitted applicants, but it is sometimes possible a second round of offers are made after the mid-April deadline for acceptance adhered to by all major U.S. graduate programs.

Research Assistantships

Many students are supported through research assistantships, awarded in the department or in other related units. Research assistants work under the supervision of a faculty member on research related to their areas of interest. For students entering the program, research assistant awards are determined by the Graduate Committee at the same time admission decisions are made. Students who have been recommended for financial assistance will have their files reviewed by faculty who have funding available. Therefore, it is not necessary to contact individual faculty about funding opportunities.  The assistantships provide a stipend , tuition remission and health insurance coverage. Students pay student fees.

The Graduate Committee seeks to continue supporting those students who are making satisfactory progress in their studies. So, while it is not usually possible for the committee to make multi-year funding guarantees to incoming students, the presumption is that those students will continue to receive financial support.

Teaching Assistantships

The department seeks to provide a structured teaching experience for all students expecting to go on the academic job market.  Several year- or semester-long teaching assistantships are awarded each year.

Fellowships

The department’s Ph.D. applicants have competed well for university-wide fellowships, awarded to outstanding students from the U.S. or abroad. The Graduate Committee screens all files completed by the December deadline and selects several candidates for nomination. No special application form is required.

The department also offers a  graduate fellowship established in honor of Prof. Willard F. “Fritz” Mueller.  This fellowship honors the legacy of path-breaking contributions by Prof. Mueller and his colleagues in the areas of industrial organization, food systems research and economic policy. It provides a full stipend, tuition waiver and health insurance for the first year of study. Applicants to the AAE graduate program should specify their interest in being considered for the fellowship; there is no special application form.

Other UW funding opportunities

Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships .  Support the study of more than 60 modern foreign languages and provide a full stipend, tuition remission and health insurance.  U.S. citizens and permanent residents are eligible.  A separate application to the relevant area studies program is required; the deadline is in early February.

Science and Medicine Graduate Research Scholars Program  strives to enhance the experiences of underrepresented graduate students in the College of Agricultural Sciences and the School of Medicine and Public Health. SciMed GRS coordinates professional development opportunities and community gatherings of graduate scholars.  Applicants may be eligible for Advanced Opportunity Fellowships administered through this program.

PHD Program FAQs

QUESTIONS ABOUT APPLICATION PROCEDURES

Q  The on-line status check shows that you have not received my uploads of transcripts, CV or other uploads even though I sent them days ago. Why?

A  All updates are done manually so there can be a delay. You can check your application to see if your materials are uploaded. Do not send any official transcripts unless you are accepted to the program. If accepted, you will send transcripts directly to the Graduate School, 217 Bascom Hall, 500 Lincoln Avenue, Madison, WI 53706. The graduate school must receive them before you begin the program.

Q  I can’t get my fall grades on a transcript by December 15.  Will I still be considered for a fellowship?

A  Yes. Please upload an unofficial transcript by December 15 and another one with grades by January 15.

Q  Is there a minimum grade point average or test score required for admission?

A   The Graduate School requires an undergraduate grade point average of at least 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) or the equivalent for admission. There is no cutoff for GRE scores. Below are average scores for accepted candidates. All application materials are taken into consideration when making admission decisions.

Average GPA:      3.8

Average GRE V:   155/69%

Average GRE Q: 166/91%

Average TOEFL: 100

Q  What are the institution and department codes I should give to ETS so that my GRE or TOEFL scores will come to you?

A  The institution code for UW-Madison is 1846. You do not need to list a code for agricultural economics. Our Graduate School will obtain scores electronically and load them into an applicant database accessible by any department.

Q I am an international student with a Master’s degree from a U.S. university. Do I need to submit the TOEFL score?

A No. Your U.S. studies exempt you from this requirement. Generally, if you have studied in an institution in which English is the language of instruction, for two years, you do not have to take an English Language examination.

Q  Is there a form for letters of recommendation?

A No special form is required. Recommendation writers should follow emailed instructions for electronically submitting letters.

Q  Is there a separate application form for students wishing to be considered for fellowships and assistantships?

A  No. We review all applications which are complete by the December 15 and January 15 deadlines for financial aid. December 15 is the priority deadline. Those applications will be considered first for funding.

Q  I cannot remember the titles of my math and economics textbooks needed for the course inventory form you require. What should I do?

A  Try to recall the author’s name or give us some indication of the level at which the course was being taught (introductory, intermediate, advanced).

Q  Do you admit students for the spring semester?

A  No. Courses are sequenced such that students entering in the spring will lose a semester or two. Also, financial aid decisions are made in February for the cohort of students entering in the fall. There is rarely new funding available for students entering in the spring semester.

Q  Can I apply to both the departments of Agricultural and Applied Economics and Economics? What is needed to do so?

A  Yes. You can submit one application and indicate that you are applying to up to three programs. You do have to upload a Statement of Purpose for each program.

Q  I can’t afford the application fee – can I apply for a fee waiver?

A  There are no fee waivers at this time.

Q Can I apply to the Ph.D. program with only a bachelor’s degree?

A Yes. Students who do not have a Master’s degree will take Master’s-level courses in their first year, followed by Ph.D. level courses in the second year.

Questions about Academics

Q What is the pass rate for your microeconomics theory preliminary exam?

A The average pass rate has been around 85% over the past decade or so. Currently, students who get grades of B or better in the Ph.D. level microeconomics theory courses can elect not to sit for the prelim exam.

Q  I’m not yet certain if I want a Ph.D. If I apply to the Master’s program, can I later apply to go on for a Ph.D.?

A  Yes. You can apply at the end of your first year of study, though Master’s students are not considered for financial aid.

Q  How is your program ranked?

A  There are many rankings, with Wisconsin consistently placing in the top five to ten programs nationally.

QUESTIONS ABOUT ADMISSION AND FINANCIAL AID

Q  I am an international student and cannot attend your university without receiving full financial support. Can you tell me how many international students you fund?

A We understand that many international students need full support in order to meet the financial requirements of the university. About half of the entering cohort each year are international students who have received funding from the department.

Q  Should I contact individual faculty to speak with them about my research interests in order to be considered for funding?

A No. Faculty wishing to fund a new graduate student are given files of appropriate candidates to review. Therefore, it is important for students to be specific about their research interests in their statement of purpose.

Q  What is your acceptance rate?

A   Each year we receive about 200 applications. Of those, we admit 35-40 and we offer funding to 7-13. We don’t have a set cohort size.

Q  What is the size of your entering class?

A  In the past couple years about 5-10 for the PhD program. There are currently about 50 PhD students and 35 MS AAE students.

Q  When will I hear from the admissions committee about my application or financial aid?

A Admissions decisions for the PhD program are made after all files are reviewed in February. Funding decisions are also made at that time, but some applicants may receive financial aid offers later in the spring as new sources of funding become available.

We welcome you to come visit the department. Any prospective students who would like to arrange an on-campus visit should contact the Graduate Program Coordinator at least two weeks before coming. We will arrange meetings with students and faculty, to help you learn as much as you can about our programs.

Economics: Graduate Foundations MS

Master of science in economics.

Professor pointing to equation on blackboard

With an emphasis on econometrics, a master’s degree in economics from UW–Madison prepares you for a high-level professional career or PhD program.

Is this program right for you?

The UW–Madison Department of Economics created the accelerated master’s degree program in economics to serve students who fall into three categories: those whose undergraduate major was not economics but who have since become interested in the field; those considering a PhD in economics who want preparation as well as access to programs and credentials; and those seeking valuable employment credentials but who may not be well-suited to an economics PhD.

The UW–Madison Department of Economics is renowned for our expertise in econometrics. We put far greater emphases than do other schools on providing you with a strong foundation in econometrics—the skills you will most commonly use in the job market or as a PhD student. You will also acquire a deep understanding of economics, analytical thinking, and statistical analysis.

Most of our students complete their master’s in economics in four semesters. You take seven courses in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics, and select three elective courses based on your academic or career goals. Our students are not required to complete a thesis project.

Whether you head directly into the workforce or go on to pursue a PhD, UW–Madison equips you with the sophisticated theoretical and quantitative skills you need to succeed as an economist.

Admissions requirements

All applicants must:

  • Have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university or its equivalent.
  • Have completed college-level economics (minimum courses in introductory microeconomics, introductory macroeconomics, and intermediate microeconomics) and three semesters of calculus and linear algebra.
  • Non-native English speakers must have a Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score of 92 (internet version) or better.

Ideal applicants will have completed the following undergraduate coursework:

  • One semester of introductory microeconomics
  • One semester of introductory macroeconomics
  • One semester of intermediate microeconomics
  • Total of three semesters of calculus and linear algebra

Application materials required:

  • Online application
  • Statement of purpose
  • Transcripts
  • Three letters of recommendation
  • Writing sample
  • Math preparation form ( PDF or Word version)
