Note: PhD applications are no longer being considered for Fall 2025, as there will be no intake or program available next year.
This program focuses on applied economic theory. We offer a one-year, course-work master’s degree program as well as a PhD program.
Resources for graduate students are excellent, from libraries that subscribe to all of the major economic journals to computer labs available to students 24 hours a day.
You’ll have access to three powerful Unix-based servers that run advanced computing applications such as Gauss, S-plus, Garch, Wavelette, SAS, Stata, IMSL and Unix versions of Maple and TSP.
