WHAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU

We expect applicants for the MURP to have:

  • A four-year bachelor's degree from an accredited U.S. college or university or foreign equivalent
  • Demonstrate basic competence in college-level algebra, (including facility with functional notations; algebraic manipulation of polynomials, logs, and exponentials; and graphic representation of equations)
  • Basic competence in the use of computers
  • Completion of an undergraduate a course in political science that analyzes political institutions (state and local, national, comparative, or international) and presents basic concepts in political analysis is strongly recommended
  • Completion of the equivalent of an introductory course in microeconomics is strongly recommended

Applicants who have inadequate preparation in these prerequisites, but who are otherwise qualified for admission, may be considered for admission (at the discretion of the faculty admissions committee) but may be required to take the relevant courses before beginning the program or taking core courses.

If you have questions about your academic preparation for the MURP program, contact the admissions office at 612-626-7229 or hhhadmit@umn.edu
