Doctor of Philosophy in Economics

Welcome to the University of New Mexico?s Graduate Program in Economics. We offer students a unique experience as an applied economics department, working hard to improve the global community through academics and policy-relevant research. Along with a strong foundation in theory and econometrics, our dedicated, diverse faculty focus on applied research in Environmental and Natural Resource Economics, Public Economics, and International Development and Sustainability. Because of our focus, we can offer customized and continuous research mentorship that is difficult to find at many schools. As part of a large research university, intra- and interdisciplinary research opportunities abound both within and outside the department. UNM?s location in Albuquerque provides daily mountain vistas, international cuisine, music, and dance, and New Mexican red and green chile. Our incoming cohorts are small by choice. On average we bring in nine PhD students each year. Because of the applied nature of our program, our students have diverse backgrounds: from economics, to engineering and physics. This diversity enhances our program and provides an excellent background for applied research. Small cohorts also allow the opportunity for one-on-one mentorship with faculty. The success of our approach can be found in our placements in academia, federal and state government, the private sector, and prestigious post-doctoral fellowships across all of our fields. We offer a more individualized experience with a continuity in faculty mentorship not available in many larger programs. For us, the program does not end with the degree. Many of our students form working research mentorships during their first or second year in the program that continue, not only through the completion of their Ph.D., but into their careers when mentors become research colleagues. Students also have the opportunity for significant interactions with faculty and students through our seminar series and student colloquiums, in which all students are encouraged to present. Our students regularly participate within the larger economics research community by attending and presenting at national conferences.
