The Doctoral program aims to deliver advanced education in economic analysis, preparing graduates for careers in academia, government, international organizations, and private enterprises.
Our program fosters students' comprehension of economic challenges, systems, and problem-solving methodologies. The curriculum highlights the interconnectedness of development studies, global economics, macroeconomic principles, and market structures. Students learn to analyze critically, connect theoretical frameworks to real-world scenarios, and assess economic models through hands-on experience.

Qualification Requirements
The requirements for admission to the Ph.D. program are:
Bachelor's Degree: A bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university.
GPA, GRE, and TOEFL: A minimum grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 (out of 4) during the last two years of undergraduate education is required. Every candidate must take the GRE. International graduate student applicants whose native language is not English are required to submit a score for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or for the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). A total score of 80 on the IBT TOEFL or 6.5 overall on the IELTS is required
Prerequisites: The following courses at the undergraduate level: Statistics, two semesters of Calculus, and one semester of Linear Algebra. Promising students who have not fulfilled these prerequisites may be admitted on a provisional basis. Unless specifically exempted, such students must take the courses as required, but graduate credit will not be given for these prerequisite courses.
Recommendations: Three letters of recommendation from persons in a position to judge the applicant's suitability for graduate study in economics.
Committee Approval: The above are minimum requirements. All complete applications are evaluated by the Graduate Studies Committee of the Department of Economics at FIU, which makes the final admission decision. Since admission to the program is competitive, the committee's requirements are normally higher than the minimum standards. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission.
Separate Admission to Ph.D. Program: The Ph.D. Program is independent of the existing Master's Program in Economics, and M.A. students must apply separately for admission as Ph.D. students. Certain courses taken in the Master's Program may subsequently be used to fulfill the requirements of the Ph.D. Program, with the approval of the Graduate Director. (These courses include the Master's core theory courses.)
TOEFL (minimum scores are: 550 paper-based, 213 computer-based, and 80 internet-based)
IELTS (minimum score is 6.5)
Pearson Test of English Academic (minimum score is 53)
Cambridge English Advanced
