About the course

The goal of the doctoral program is to form scholars who will contribute to the field of economics as top-notch researchers, instructors, and mentors. The program requires at least three years of full-time study. Most students remain in the program for five or six years. Our approach is to provide intensive training, both in coursework and in writing/presenting research papers. Our relatively small size, together with our collegial environment, is conducive to a tight-knit research community where graduate students are treated as research peers to faculty. The basic coursework consists of core courses in the first year, and field and distributional courses in the second year. Independent research usually begins in the third year, but often students start working on their own projects as early as the summer between years one and two. Students are required to produce a research paper by the end of the third year, a paper that is often included in their dissertation. Dissertations can take many forms, the most common being three or more related papers. The overarching objective of both coursework and dissertation work is to prepare the student for a successful academic career. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
