Under the guidance of distinguished faculty, students develop the quantitative skills to think critically about the relationships between resources, incentives and behaviors that inform the decision-making process. Along with one-on-one advising and a breadth of opportunities to learn outside of the classroom, economics majors graduate with a portfolio of methods, problem-solving techniques and practical experience that is highly valued by employers.

While there are separate tracks toward the M.A. and the Ph.D., both esteemed graduate degree programs focus on applied and policy-related economics. Emphasizing a strong foundation of theory, statistical and econometric methods, students develop advanced understanding of market functions and hone analytical skills that are in high demand across a wide range of fields.
