Economics, PhD

The PhD program in economics provides rigorous training in microeconomic theory, macroeconomic theory, applied economics and econometrics. Additionally, students may select a primary area of specialization for study: applied microeconomics econometrics economic theory environmental and resource economics financial economics macroeconomics This full-time doctoral program prepares students for teaching and research positions at four-year institutions of higher education and for research positions in public agencies or private business organizations. The program is relatively small in size, with about 45 doctoral students in residence at any time. This low student-to-faculty ratio affords greater faculty attention and mentoring than larger programs. Students become valued members of the department, involved in teaching, research and seminar activities. More details: https://degrees.apps.asu.edu/masters-phd/major/ASU00/BAECONPHD/economics-phd
