We expect MPP applicants to have:
- A four-year bachelor's degree from an accredited U.S. university or foreign equivalent;
- Basic competence in college-level algebra (including facility with functional notations; algebraic manipulation of polynomials, logs, and exponentials; and graphic representation of equations);
- Completed the equivalent of an introductory course in microeconomics (grade of B-minus or better);
- Basic competence in the use of computers;
