Our department provides a doctoral program in Economics leading to a Ph.D. This site contains comprehensive details about our essential curriculum, specialization choices, faculty research interests, current doctoral candidates, and career outcomes of recent graduates. A promotional video featuring perspectives from current students and alumni is also available. Our graduate program holds STEM designation. We are proud of the distinctive benefits our program delivers, with exceptional dedication to graduate instruction and thesis guidance. Although our program primarily prepares students for academic roles and research positions in government and international organizations, an increasing number of graduates have pursued careers in private industry, particularly within financial services and technology companies.
We select candidates showing outstanding potential for both doctoral studies and future professional achievements. Admission decisions consider traditional academic factors (preparation, grades, research background, recommendations, and GRE results) along with personal qualities like enthusiasm, perseverance, originality, and self-reliance.
We welcome applicants from diverse academic backgrounds, though proficiency in intermediate micro/macroeconomics, multivariable calculus, linear algebra fundamentals, and probability/statistics is mandatory before starting core courses. While beneficial, prior training in econometrics or advanced mathematics/statistics isn't required.
UCR is experiencing significant growth, with dynamic campus developments including the School of Public Policy and Global Studies Program that appeal to policy-focused students. Riverside offers an exceptional quality of life, consistently ranked among America's top communities for living and business. Located midway between Los Angeles and Palm Springs with Southern California's ideal climate, Riverside provides easy access to coastal, mountain, and desert recreation within an hour's reach - offering one of the nation's most diverse lifestyle opportunities.
