Graduate
With an emphasis on microeconomics and research, the Graduate programs in Economics provide stronger analytic and empirical focus than you’ll find in other professional economics programs, giving you the in-depth knowledge you need for a high-level position in the industry.
As somebody who remembers the confusion and excitement of entering college without a clear path but with a wide-eyed appreciation of the range of options, I enjoy the chance to teach students who may not have considered economics before. Some discover a new interest and direction, and I hope that the others learn a powerful way of thinking about markets and social issues that they can carry with them.
