Skills and knowledge in statistics and microeconomics are necessary for success in the Policy Studies program. Prior coursework in statistics and microeconomics on your transcript is a strong indication of preparedness to undertake graduate-level policy studies. The admissions application will ask you to identify coursework you have taken that covers these areas, invite you to highlight other experience you may have in applying these methods and skills, or indicate a plan for completing prerequisite coursework prior to matriculating. For those looking to build knowledge and skills in these areas, check our list of courses below. This list is not exhaustive, we accept applicable coursework from any accredited college or university.
