Field Courses

Students in our PhD program complete two majors and one minor in six different fields within economics. A major consists of two courses within the field and one graded field seminar. A minor consists of two courses within the field.

Many of our faculty members have research interests that spill over two fields. We take advantage of these spillovers by cross-listing some of the courses in two different fields.
