The Doctor of Economic Development (DED) is a collaborative professional doctorate program offered by two departments: the Department of Economics, Applied Statistics & International Business in the College of Business, and the Department of Agricultural Economics and Agricultural Business (AEAB) within the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences. This doctoral program focuses on equipping economic development practitioners with advanced skills rather than training academic economists. Essentially, the DED serves as a bridge connecting scholarly research in economic development with practical challenges faced in the field.
