The economics graduate program is a collaborative initiative between the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics (College of Agriculture and Life Sciences) and the Department of Economics (Poole College of Management). This program focuses on economic theory, quantitative analysis, and their practical applications. Master's candidates can opt for either a terminal degree path or a PhD preparation track, with opportunities to specialize in financial economics, international economics, natural resource/environmental economics, or applied econometrics. Students may complete a research thesis (earning a Master of Science) or follow a coursework-only path (Master of Economics). Doctoral candidates can specialize in agricultural economics, development/labor economics, econometrics, environmental/resource economics, international economics, macro-monetary economics, or microeconomic theory/industrial organization.
The PhD-prep track prepares students for doctoral studies in economics, offering flexible full-time or part-time enrollment. Full-time students can complete the program in 1 to 2 years, depending on their preferred pace.
