The Department of Economics offers graduate programs leading to the MA and PhD. The MA may be completed by either a thesis or non-thesis option, while the PhD requires successful completion of a dissertation. Applicants to these programs should contact the Director of Graduate Studies, Department of Economics, for further information.

Academic Standards

A graduate student whose grade point average falls below 3.0 will be placed on probation. A student on probation will be dropped from the program unless his/her cumulative graduate grade point average is 3.0 or higher at the end of the probationary period. The probationary period is defined as the next semester’s course work established by the degree program for full-time students and the next two semesters’ course work as established by the degree program for part-time students.

Student’s Right to Petition

Graduate students in good academic standing have the right to petition the department for modification of departmental degree requirements and redress of grievances. Petitions must be in writing and addressed to the departmental Director of Graduate Studies.
