Program Description
The PhD program of the Department of Economics has an entering class size of about 25 students with about 100 students in residence. The instructional program of the department covers all the principal areas of economic study and research. Students completing the program are prepared for careers in college teaching and research, government and international agencies, or private business.
Advanced courses, seminars, and research opportunities are offered in the fields of economic theory, economic history, macroeconomics, industrial organization and regulation, labor economics, economic development, econometrics, international economics, mathematical economics, and public finance. Workshops in several fields meet weekly, playing an important role in the instructional program. These workshops provide a forum in which faculty, students, and distinguished economists from around the world meet and present their research.
The Department of Economics is located in the same building as the Kellogg Graduate School of Management (Kellogg), and the PhD program in Economics shares courses, faculty, and seminars with the Kellogg doctoral programs in Finance and Managerial Economics and Strategy. Including the economists in these Kellogg departments, there are about 90 members of the Northwestern economics community.
