PhD in Economics

A distinguishing feature of the Ph.D. program is a tradition of providing close faculty guidance and support that helps students learn how to shape their work in ways that facilitate opportunities to present at professional conferences and publication of dissertation work in select peer-reviewed journals. Many Ph.D. students co-author some of their work with faculty advisors. In addition, some graduate students participate in the Future Professoriate Program, a special university program that helps form good teaching practices. Syracuse University is one of a few universities that provide graduate students with a formal program to learn about college-level teaching practices.
