FAQ

May I still apply if I haven’t taken any quantitative courses?

Although many applicants will have some exposure to economics, statistics, calculus, and policy studies, there is no required course of study to be eligible for admission. The admissions committee values diverse backgrounds, including academic studies in the arts, sciences, and humanities.

Some of the coursework at Yale Jackson School is quantitative in nature, and candidates can demonstrate a readiness for this through undergraduate study, non-degree classes, the GRE, and professional work. Although it is not our place to recommend one over another, there are many free and accessible options for addressing gaps. We leave it to candidates to determine what is best for them.

If the courses are taken through an educational institution, you should include this information and relevant transcripts in the academic section of the application. If not taken at an educational institution, you may include this as additional/supplemental information.
