Early Admission Pathway for Cornell Undergraduates

Cornell University undergraduate students interested in pursuing a master’s have the opportunity for early admission into the Dyson School’s MPS in Applied Economics and Management (AEM) program.

The early admission pathway (EAP) enables qualified Cornell undergraduates to begin working on their MPS in AEM degree during the final semester of their undergraduate studies and complete the master’s degree with only one additional semester of study.

The early admission pathway is available for Cornell undergraduate students who have between one and eight credits remaining to complete their undergraduate degree at the start of their senior year. EAP admission is contingent upon the timely completion of the early admission petition. This petition allows students to take graduate-level courses in their final semester of undergraduate studies to count toward the MPS in AEM. The grades of graduate-level courses taken during the early admission semester count toward the student’s undergraduate cumulative GPA.

Eligibility for Early Admission as an Undergraduate

Minimum requirements for early admission to the MPS in AEM program are:

• Be in your junior year as a Cornell undergraduate.
• Have between one and eight credits left to complete your undergraduate degree at the start of your senior year.

Application Process for Early Admission as an Undergraduate

• File a complete application for admission to the MPS in AEM degree program online through the Graduate School. Be sure to select Applied Economics and Management, M.P.S and Spring Intake under the Academic Program Section page.
• Admission is contingent upon the completion of the early admission petition, which requires signatures from your undergraduate advisor and the Dyson School registrar.
