Program Description
- The Graduate Program in the School of
Economic Sciences has a long tradition of
excellence.
- The school’s graduate instructional
programs are based on a core of economic theory
and quantitative methods, training in fields,
and writing a thesis, dissertation, or special
project.
- The strong quantitative training allows for
more rigorous research and creates excellent
job opportunities for our graduates in academia
and industry.
- Students may specialize in one or more
fields, including: Econometrics; Environmental
& Natural Resource Economics; International
Economics; Industrial Organization;
Agricultural Economics (required for
Agricultural Economics, Ph.D.); Public
Economics; and Financial Economics.
- The program has a strong tradition of
student mentoring, small classes, and
accessible advising, which results in a high
proportion of academic placements directly into
prestigious assistant professor positions, and
has produced national dissertation and thesis
awards.
- Much of the research work is done
collaboratively with students, and every year
many peer-reviewed papers are co-authored by
students and faculty.
