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.
