The graduate program in Economics, in the College of Arts and Sciences, emphasizes rigorous training in economic theory and quantitative methods and their creative applications. Both theoretical and empirical work is heavily based on mathematical modeling. In addition to core courses, students choose elective courses from the variety of fields offered in theoretical and quantitative applied economics. It is through these courses that breadth of economic knowledge is gained. Both Ph.D. and M.A. programs share most of the courses. If students choose the Advanced MA track they can also combine their MA degree with the Advanced Certificate in Data and Computational Science, or the Advanced Certificate in Finance. More details on the latter programs are provided below.
