The Economics Department is among more than 30 programs offered by the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Our Economics Ph.D. program prepares students for academic and research careers through rigorous training in theory, quantitative methods, and hands-on research experience early in the program. This excellence is demonstrated by our alumni securing positions at prestigious universities like Chicago, Columbia, UCLA, Cornell, and Penn State, as well as top liberal arts colleges including Carleton and Brandeis. Recent rankings place UVA at fourteenth for graduate program academic placements. Students frequently obtain internships and full-time roles with Washington-based institutions such as the IMF, World Bank, Federal Reserve, FTC, and Congressional Budget Office. We welcome around twenty new students annually, maintaining a vibrant community of 80-90 resident scholars. With small class sizes, students enjoy close mentorship from faculty. The department supports graduate research with two modern computer labs featuring cutting-edge PCs and comprehensive software resources.
