Department of Economics

Economics isn’t just the study of money and resources—it’s a way of thinking. Through our program, you’ll learn to think like an economist, developing essential problem-solving and analytical skills you can apply to public policy, international trade and countless other industries.

With an emphasis on microeconomics and research, the Master's in Economics provides a 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.

Led by some of the world’s best faculty in experimental economics and economic history, the Economics PhD program offers a rigorous program focused on microeconomics—particularly, industrial organization and labor economics—preparing you for a position as a leader in the industry.
