The PhD program stresses balanced preparation in economic theory, mathematics and statistics, as well as competence in subject-area fields of specialization. The student is required to pass qualifying examinations in the theory core and in one field of specialization. (The theory core is not considered a field of specialization.) Competence must be demonstrated in a second field of specialization through coursework. The graduate adviser helps the student develop a plan of study to achieve these objectives. A foreign language is not required. A dissertation based upon original research is required of the candidate for a PhD degree in economics. The final oral examination is the dissertation defense. 1 Our PhD in Economics is not subject to AACSB accreditation because many Economics programs reside and are administered in colleges of arts and sciences.
