Two Recommended Paths and Course Offerings

Because of the focused nature of the program, there is very little flexibility in the courses a student can take to complete the degree. The table below gives two recommended paths, one specialized mainly in International Economics and Public Economics and the other in Comparative Economics. This is a recommended path for those opting to take the Qualifying Exams (QE). For those who choose to write a thesis, four (4) less credits (a total of 32) are required. Of course, students can register and receive more than the minimum credits if they so choose.

(A) International Economics and Public Economics
(B) Comparative Economics
