  • Program Type: Graduate minor related to major
  • Requirements for this program are current for Spring 2020
  • Length of program in credits (master's): 6
  • Length of program in credits (doctoral): 12
  • This program does not require summer semesters for timely completion.
The economics graduate program offers degree work in both theoretical and applied fields of economics with an emphasis on quantitative economic analysis. The strong quantitative component in this degree emphasizes multivariate calculus, linear algebra, and econometrics (statistical methods of economic data). Economics coursework consists of microeconomic theory, macroeconomic theory, economic growth, price theory, cost-benefit analysis, econometrics, economic modelling and forecasting, industrial organization, economic development, game theory, optimization theory, and financial, computational, international, mathematical, monetary, public, and labor economics. Fields of specialization and written preliminary examinations include microeconomic theory, macroeconomic theory, econometrics, economic growth and development, financial economics, game theory, computational economics, industrial organization, labor economics, international economics, mathematical economics, monetary economics, and public economics.
Program Delivery
  • via classroom (the majority of instruction is face-to-face)
Prerequisites for Admission
Special Application Requirements:
Students interested in the Economics minor are strongly encouraged to confer with their major field advisor and director of graduate studies, and the Economics director of graduate studies regarding feasibility and requirements.
