These degree programs attract students interested in academic careers, teaching and research, government and public service, and positions in the private sector where an in-depth knowledge of domestic and international politics, economics and business is of importance.
The rigorous training and applied nature of the department’s core offerings and doctoral fields provide the analytical expertise and practical experience for both domestic and international positions. Students completing the PhD in Economics compete for positions in academia and the public and private sectors.
Students fulfill a standard set of core requirements and qualify in one major doctoral field. Core course requirements and course descriptions can be found elsewhere on this web site. A minimum of 72 units of graduate-level course work is required. Students may petition to transfer up to 24 semester units from another graduate program into the Doctoral program.
We currently specialize in the following fields, although others can be accommodated on a case-by-case basis:
- Business & Financial Economics
- Industrial Organization
- International & Development Economics
- International Money & Finance
- Neuroeconomics
- Public Choice & Public Economics
Students must successfully complete qualifying examinations in microeconomics, macroeconomics and the major field of study and successfully defend their dissertation.
Transfer of Credit
Students intending to transfer units that count toward core courses must consult with their advisor to determine the appropriate entrance-point for sequential courses. Formal transfer of units requires the submission of a transcript to the academic advisor, who will determine which courses are appropriate for transfer. Student must have earned the equivalent of a B or better in a graduate level course in order to transfer units in from another institution.
