Eligibility for Early Admission | Application Process | Application Deadlines
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.
Minimum requirements for early admission to the MPS in AEM program are:
You must apply for early admission during your junior year. Refer to the MPS in AEM admissions page for deadlines and application requirements.
If you are interested in applying for EAP and have further questions, please contact our admissions office at mps-dyson-admission@cornell.edu.
