You will work with faculty upon entering the program, and will learn to communicate complex ideas as an instructor. Ultimately, you will work to become an expert in your field as you design, conduct, and defend your own research. The Department of Business Economics and Public Policy trains doctoral students in the application of microeconomic and econometric analysis to business strategy and economic and public policy issues. We offer an individually tailored program that develops the required skills to conduct research and teach at highly ranked business schools and economics departments.
