Brief Introduction The Department of Economics offers three graduate degrees in Economics: Master of Science (MS), Master of Arts (MA) and a PhD. The general requirements of the Graduate School must be satisfied by all candidates for graduate degrees in Economics. The mission of UNR's Master of Arts program in Economics is to provide advanced training in economics, to prepare students to be economic analysts in either the public or private sector, and to prepare students for future advanced graduate studies in Economics. The Master of Arts program provides the flexibility for students to choose a more policy-oriented or applied approach by allowing more electives than the MS. The program offers two M.A. degrees in Economics, a research-based Thesis Masters degree (Plan A), and a non-Thesis Masters Degree (Plan B). III. Program Objectives/Student Learning Outcomes Outcome 1: Advanced Microeconomics and Macroeconomics.

Approved GC 3/25/14


Students will : demonstrate their understanding of economic theory in the two required advanced economic theory classes (ECON 702 and ECON 703). Outcome 2: Quantitative Skills and Analytic Methods Students will: identify correct econometric methods to analyze data, test hypotheses, and analyze economics issues. complete a Math Workshop required by incoming graduate students the summer prior to matriculation in the graduate program and will demonstrate an understanding of those techniques in subsequent classes. will demonstrate their understanding of various econometric techniques, including OLS, instrumental variables, discrete variable methods, panel and time series techniques and be able to identify which technique to employ in the Applied Econometrics course and various electives. Outcome 3: Literature Research and Communication Skills Students will be able to: clearly communicate, either in writing or verbally when called upon, the results of an economic analysis. present their work by effective written communication in the form of scientific papers and reports, and by oral communication in the form of scientific seminars. critically analyze and extract information from papers in the scientific literature. IV. Admission Requirements For full admission into the master of arts or master of science program majoring in economics, an applicant must meet the following requirements: The applicant must have a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution. An overall grade-point average (GPA) of at least 2.75 or a last-half GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. The applicant must have completed undergraduate course work in intermediate microeconomics and intermediate macroeconomics. These undergraduate prerequisites may be completed while enrolled at the university as a graduate special student (see “Graduate Special” classification). International students must have a minimum TOEFL score of 500 (paper) 61 (internet). GRE or GMAT scores must be submitted to the Graduate School.

II. Brief Introduction The Department of Educational Leadership (EL) offers graduate degree programs at three levels: Master of Education (M.Ed.), or Master of Arts (M.A.). Courses leading to an M.A. or M.Ed. are taught by a core faculty with expertise in areas of organizational development, policy development, school administration, supervision and evaluation, curriculum development, school law, school finance, school plant planning, higher education, and educational foundations.

III. Program Objectives/Student Learning Outcomes

The Master’s graduate program in Educational Leadership aims to generate graduates who are well versed in content, theories, research methods, and the application of knowledge to practice. Graduate students specialize in PK-12 Leadership or Higher Educational Leadership. Graduate students complete a course of studies aligned with one of these two areas. The program of studies is designed to provide skills, knowledge, and understanding for entry level leadership positions.

IV. Admission Requirements

Upon receiving the application packet, the following should be completed and returned to the Graduate School: 1. Completed UNR Application for Admission and application fee ($60-first time; $40 UNR returning or UNR alumnus)

must accompany the application.

a. If you have already been admitted as a Graduate Special, you must complete a new Graduate School Application for Admission to a graduate program ($40 fee).

2. Official transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate work. (If coursework was completed at UNR, Admissions and

Records would already have your transcripts available for the Graduate School, and you need not send them.) 3. In addition to the application form required by the Graduate School, applicants must complete an EL application and

submit it to the department. This includes:

a. Three letters which speak to the applicant's potential for success both as a graduate student and as an educational administrator. It is recommended that one letter be from an immediate supervisor, one from a school district officer or university administrator, and one from a university professor. Appropriate variations are acceptable.

Approved GC 3/25/14


b. Applicants must submit a written sample of work; for example, a typed essay of approximately 1,000 words. c. Although not required, applicants may submit additional information such as a vita that may provide relevant information for assessing professional promise. d. A typed departmental application must be submitted. This form (available online) lists departmental requirements and a description of the required essay.

Admission Criteria

Full Admission Status Most applicants to the M.A. and M.Ed. programs surpass the minimum requirements established by the Graduate School (see the UNR General Catalog concerning specific regulations on graduate standing). Full admission is based on the following criteria:

(1) academic ability (2) research and writing skills (3) professional promise (4) the collective professional judgment of the EL faculty
