Utah is Different

 

Do you feel that there should be more to Economics than second order conditions of constrained optima or intergenerational planning with infinite time horizons? Would you also like to examine economic theory from the perspective of the philosophy of science? Are you fascinated by the problems of the Third World, post-Keynesian macroeconomics, Marxian economics, ecological economics, the economics of gender, or Bayesian econometrics?

 

If so, graduate study in economics at the University of Utah may be for you.

 

Mainstream and heterodox approaches are integral parts of a broad program which includes a technically sophisticated presentation of economic theory and quantitative methods as well as a variety of fields of specialization, including the history of economic thought, political economy, monetary economics, law and economics, econometrics and economic development. The Department has approximately 50 Ph.D. students in residence, 20 Masters students and a faculty of 20 with Ph.D.'s from leading universities across the U.S.

 

The University is located in northeast Salt Lake City. The metropolitan area has a population of about 750,000. The foothills of the rugged Wasatch Mountains nudge the 1,500 acre campus, providing a scenic backdrop for Utah outdoor lifestyle. Sunny skies predominate, and the climate is comfortable: winters with snow mainly in the mountains, summers, warm and dry.

 

Applications accepted for admission until April 1st; applications for financial aid until February 1st.

 

The Economics Department offers four graduate degrees, M.A., M.S., M.Phil, Ph.D. The department also cooperates with the College of Business in the M.B.A. and Ph.D. in business administration programs, and with the University Statistics Committee on the granting of the M.Stat. degree.
