文理学院的经济学研究生课程强调对经济学理论和定量方法及其创造性应用的严格培训。理论和经验工作都很大程度上基于数学建模。除了核心课程，学生还从理论和应用经济学提供的各个领域中选择选修课程。通过这些课程，可以获得广泛的经济知识。两位博士 和MA计划共享相同的课程。尽管该课程很有用，但它并不依赖于经济学的先验知识。由于注重数学建模，该研究生课程非常适合那些拥有物理，工程和数学本科学位的人。那些拥有经济学学士学位的人通常必须修读一些数学课程，而这些课程的水平通常不是其本科学位所要求的，以便为研究生做准备。程序。
The graduate program in Economics, in the College of Arts and Sciences, emphasizes rigorous training in economic theory and quantitative methods and their creative applications. Both theoretical and empirical work is heavily based on mathematical modeling. In addition to core courses, students choose elective courses from the variety of fields offered in theoretical and applied economics. It is through these courses that breadth of economic knowledge is gained. Both Ph.D. and M.A. programs share the same courses. The program of study does not depend on prior knowledge of economics, though that is useful. Because of its emphasis on mathematical modeling, the graduate program is highly suitable for those whose undergraduate degrees are in physics, engineering, and mathematics. Those whose undergraduate degrees are in economics usually have to take a number of mathematics courses at a level not usually required for their undergraduate degree in order to be prepared for a graduate. program.
