Doctor of Philosophy in Economics

The doctoral program in the Department of Economics is designed to prepare students for careers in academics, government at all levels, international organizations, and the private sector. Through rigorous coursework, seminars, independent research, workshops, and one-on-one consultation with faculty, students learn both mathematical economic theory and econometric analysis and learn to apply these quantitative analytical tools to practical problems. Department faculty maintain close contact with graduate students, guiding them through all aspects of research and, ultimately, the dissertation. Students applying for entry into the PhD program are normally expected to have passed some advanced undergraduate or graduate courses or seminars in economic theory, and to have had extensive training in mathematics, statistics, and econometrics, as well as a working knowledge of computer programming.
