Doctor of Philosophy in Economics

Entry requirements for 賓州大學大學公園校區

With leading researchers in economic theory, econometrics, international economics, and macroeconomics, the Economics Department at Penn State is an outstanding department (faculty areas of interest may be found here). A consequence is that students who receive a Ph.D. from Penn State and whose doctoral research is excellent have access to positions at leading academic and research institutions. Our recent placement record confirms this. In the past decade, some of our Ph.D. students have obtained tenure track positions at Harvard, MIT, NYU, Cornell, in business schools at Chicago, Carnegie Mellon, and Toronto.
We require that applicants take the 3-part general aptitude GRE. The average scores of the entering class in Fall 2017 were: Verbal = 155, Quantitative = 167, Analytical = 3.4.
We place considerable weight on, and require, three (3) letters of recommendation.
All international applicants must take and submit scores for the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or the IELTS (International English Language Testing System), with the exceptions noted below. The minimum acceptable score for the TOEFL is 550 for the paper-based test, 213 for the computer-based test, or a total score of 80 with a 20 on each section for the Internet-based test (iBT). Applicants with iBT speaking scores between 15 and 18 may be considered for provisional admission, with Graduate School approval, which requires an institutional test of English proficiency upon the first semester of enrollment and, if necessary, remedial course work. The minimum composite score for the IELTS is 6.5.
