PhD Preparation Track/Economic Analysis
The Economic Analysis track provides students the tools required to succeed in a PhD program in economics and to boost their competitiveness during the admissions process. Advanced mathematics and econometrics coursework is required, and PhD level theory courses are strongly recommended. In addition, many students in this track take several computational economics and graduate-level courses in statistics.
