: MAJOR FIELDS FOR ADVANCED STUDY |
 |
|
| |
|
All students in economics must take nine core courses: Microeconomics I and II, Macroeconomics I and II, Econometrics I and II, Seminar in Applied Economics I and II, and Economic History. The first six are required for the First Examination. The Second Examination, required of all students, consists of two separate examinations in advanced fields. The program emphasizes seven fields:
Other fields can be substituted with the approval of the Executive Officer. Dissertations can be written in any of these seven fields, or in any other area in which students and professors find a mutual interest.
NOTES ON COURSE OFFERINGS
Advanced-level courses are listed with the descriptions of the seven advanced fields. The Schedule page contains the course schedule for the current academic year. When possible, courses are scheduled in the late afternoon or early evening to facilitate the participation of part-time students.
- Students should advise the Executive Officer regarding electives in which they are interested.
- Advanced students may arrange to take reading courses by arrangement with a faculty member and the approval of the Executive Officer.
- Courses may be audited with the instructor's approval.
- Students should check with each of their professors at the beginning of each course to see whether the students have all of the necessary prerequisites.
- Although 700-level courses are traditionally first-year courses and 800-level courses are advanced, there is little operational difference in the Economics program. The 60-credit requirement has no specific division between the number of 700- and 800-level credits.
- From time to time the program is able to offer special courses or seminars in certain fields. These occasions arise because of the short-term availability of scholars from elsewhere or because of special research interests of students and faculty. This provides flexibility to "experiment" with a course or seminar without committing the program to a continued offering. If results suggest that the offering be continued, it will be added to the Bulletin listings.
