The Graduate Program
The department offers a Ph.D. degree in economics, designed to provide a solid, analytically oriented training in microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, and advanced specialties. Since the program is structured as a doctoral program, only students who intend to pursue a doctorate should apply.
The main economics Ph.D. requirements are that a student pass qualifying exams in microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, and select courses of specialization, and prepare an acceptable dissertation.
Detailed descriptions of the Ph.D. program are available on the Internet at the department Web site at http://economics.ucsd.edu/. Residence and other campuswide regulations are described in the graduate studies section of this catalog.
