Introduction | Program Description | Courses Offered | Requirements 

The Department of Economics at Syracuse University has a national reputation of excellence in applied microeconomic research and the analysis of public policies. The Graduate Program reflects the Department's focus on research in labor economics, public economics, international trade, and urban/regional economics. Graduates of Economics lead a wide variety of careers business and government, including management, consulting, research and policy analysis.

The Graduate Program in  Economics at Syracuse University emphasize the simultaneous development of a strong grounding in economic concepts and the rigorous application of theory to applied, policy-oriented settings. They are structured to generate a high ratio of faculty to students, to permit completion of degrees in a timely fashion, and to perpetuate our excellent record in placing graduate students.

The graduate hand book serves as an introduction to the Department's programs for prospective  graduate students, as well as convenient reference for rules and requirements for current students in the programs. But, in the end, it is just an introduction. We expect the hand book to simulate additional questions. Readers should feel free to contact the Director of  Graduate Studies, or the Department Staff.
