Are students admitted to graduate study in economics in every semester?
Since we have a lockstep program, we admit students to graduate study in our department only in the Fall semester. Students without an appropriate undergraduate background may seek admission to the LSU Graduate School as a non-matriculated student in any semester in order to take intermediate macroeconomics, intermediate microeconomics or other courses required before admission to graduate study in economics can be considered. Non-matriculated students are not funded by our department and will be considered for admission into our graduate program once they have finished the undergraduate prerequisites. However, a student enrolling in LSU in a Fall semester as a non-matriculated student will not be admitted into graduate study in economics in the subsequent Spring semester. Admission to graduate study in economics will be only in a Fall semester.
