碩士班修業期間一般為兩年，共四個學期，分為第1學期、第2學期、第3學期、第4學期等。碩士生自入學起，無論是正規的9月入學或是提前半年於2月入學，都視為第1學期。若本校學生於大三下申請五年一貫學制通過，成為「預修生」，則大四上就可視為第1學期，其餘以此類推。
學生於第1學期即可先至系辦找文菁姐申請研究室分配，並領取鑰匙。但請「預修生」注意，以下有些事項必須等到成為正式的碩士生後方能進行。
新生在入學時若未修經濟學、統計學及會計學等三科其中二科各達3學分者，必須先行補修該等課程。其修課及抵免方式得為：
學士班課程：在大學時期曾經修過其中兩門課程（相關課程亦可）且及格。請注意：碩士生下修學士班課程需付學分費且不計入畢業學分。
校際課程：暑假至其他學校修課。
線上課程：如Coursera。
(1)可申請Coursera獎學金免費取得修課證明，請參見教學影片。
(2)線上課程修課時數達40小時且取得修課證明，可抵免3學分先修課程。
