- greenshackle2 9y agoYou need some undergraduate degree, preferentially CS. You can get it with a non-CS degree + work experience (see sibling threads). Some schools accept master's students without an undergrad degree at all but AFAIK most don't. This program doesn't.
- tnecniv 9y agoI take that to mean that you need to have a bachelors in something. Econ is a relatively quantitative field, so that with work experience is likely acceptable.
- learc83 9y agoThat really depends on the school. There are many schools where you can get an BA in econ without even taking calculus. I haven't met anyone in the program with an econ degree. Mostly CS, and engineering. And a few with physics or math degrees.
- lemonghost 9y agoLike others have noted, you need some Bachelor's degree minimally. But you don't need to take the GRE.
- jlamberts 9y agoI'm currently in the program with a BS in Industrial Engineering. I highlighted the CS side of my job in my application, and had done a lot of learning on my own time between my BS and application. So it's definitely possible if you're interested.
