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 many peer-reviewed papers are
co-authored by students and faculty every year.
