Degree Requirements - Plan of Study in Economics
Students enrolled in the Ph.D. program in Economics are required to complete coursework as indicated on the Economics Plan of Study form. The core curriculum consists of three sequences of coursework in microeconomic theory, macroeconomic theory, and analytical methods and econometrics. These sequences are usually completed during the first two years of study. Students must choose three fields of specialization to strengthen the analytical and quantitative skills developed in the core curriculum. A 3.0 grade point average must be maintained in each field. Candidates must pass comprehensive examinations based on the core courses in microeconomic theory and macroeconomic theory and two of the chosen fields of specialization and must write and defend an acceptable dissertation. Students must also attend the workshops and seminars sponsored by the Department of Economics. Questions pertaining to the Economics Ph.D. program should be directed to the Graduate Coordinator of the Economics Department.
