IS PARTICIPATION IN PRE-TERM REQUIRED?
No, but a majority of the incoming class of M.A. candidates attends. Pre-Term is highly recommended for those who want to get a jump-start on their study of economics. Many students prefer to avoid using the 16 non-language courses needed for graduation to satisfy economics prerequisites. Pre-Term offers the possibility of completing up to two foundation economics courses as a way of allowing more room for electives.
