  • The program is designed to prepare them for acceptance and success in America’s prestigious PhD programs in Economics and Public Policy.
  • Recognizing that some talented students may prefer careers after terminal master’s degrees, the program will provide the flexibility to compete for positions at prestigious firms and organizations.
