[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You'll generally have to take certain math, econ, and stats courses first before applying. Here's NYU's guidelines for a strong application:

OP here. I looked up a masters in public policy as well for comparison, and that, too, requires, “Evidence of quantitative proficiency such as success in undergraduate-level economics, statistics, or calculus courses, regardless of your undergraduate major.”

So it seems that a master in economics and masters in public policy both require a strong foundation in math/economics. Unless there is a post-bacc option for math and economics classes, it sounds like my daughter won’t be able to pursue either degree since she didn’t really take math or economics in undergrad.

I now feel badly that she and we didn’t realize how important these classes are to have good job options in the political science field. She doesn’t like math, but always was a strong math student so I believe could have handled the classes in college. [/quote]

Did she not do statistics at least? Most top colleges with poly sci or PP as undergraduate majors require statistics at a minimum
