Degree Requirements

Paths to PhD — There are two Paths to the PhD Degree:

• B.S. to Ph.D. — Direct from B.S. to Ph.D., bypassing the M.S. degree, or by
• M.S. to Ph.D. — Obtaining an M.S. degree first at UH (or elsewhere).

Both B.S. and M.S. degrees must have been obtained from an accredited institution in Petroleum Engineering or a relevant engineering or scientific discipline. The applicants must maintain a Grade Point Average of 3.5/4.0.

The chart below demonstrates course requirements for either path to PhD.

Students without sufficient background for the required courses must complete leveling courses that will not count toward the degree. Each Ph.D. student must maintain a Grade Point Average (GPA) above 3.50 throughout the Ph.D. program.

Candidacy/Dissertation

The Ph.D. in Petroleum Engineering will require a dissertation. 

• Ph.D. Dissertation Committee:  During the third semester after the student is enrolled in the Ph.D. program, a dissertation committee will be formed by the student and advisor with approval of the Chair of the Petroleum Engineering Department. The Chair of the Dissertation Committee will be a tenured, tenure-track or research faculty member associated with the Petroleum Engineering Department. The committee shall consist of at least five members including the Chair of the Committee. Among the committee members, a minimum of three members should be associated with Petroleum Engineering Department and two members can be from outside the Department. Members selected from industry should be actively involved in research and will require the approval of the Associate Dean of the College of Engineering to become a committee member.

• Students will be asked to officially select their 3 exams and give notification by email approximately 3 months prior  to the QE.
• Authors of the exams will provide study guide materials to all exam takers as soon as the students commit to the QE for a certain date. There may be review sessions scheduled by the examiners.
• Students may not take all 4 exams
• If a student passes all 3 exams — they become a Candidate
• If a student passes 2 exams and receives Conditional for the 3rd exam — they do not become a Candidate until the stipulations of the QE Committee are completed. Official notice will be sent to each exam taker.
• If a student passes 2 out of 3 exams and fails one exam — they need only re-take one exam by either sitting for an oral exam 2 weeks after the original exam or taking the written exam at the next available QE testing date. Students may not switch subjects after failing a QE.
• If a student fails 2 exams out of 3 — they are considered to fail. They must take all 3 of the written exam at the next available QE testing date. Students may not switch subjects after failing a QE.
• If a student fails any one QE exam twice — they are subject to dismissal from the PHD program. Sometimes the option to become a Master Degree Student may be offered after dismissal from the PHD program — this is not a guaranteed offer.
• QE exams will be graded and reviewed by committee and results given to students by the first day of class  following the term the exam preceded.
• Exams will be archived by the department according to the UH Records and Retention Policy.
• Proposal Defense : is the ititial dissertation proposal defense/oral presentation given after the student passes the Qualifying Exam and becomes a candidate. The student is required to write a dissertation proposal of his/her proposed research to the dissertation committee members. After the submission of the dissertation proposal, the student must give a public oral presentation of the proposed research to the dissertation committee. Each committee member must indicate acceptance of the preliminary examination with “Satisfactory” or “Unsatisfactory”. Typically, it is held no later than two semesters before a students plan to graduate.  A unanimous “Satisfactory” by the committee members is required.
• Dissertation Defense:  The Ph.D. candidate must provide the committee members with the final version of the dissertation after the completion of his or her research. After consultation with the committee members, the Ph.D. candidate will defend his or her dissertation at a public oral defense.  The dissertation committee will make the final judgment of the acceptance of the dissertation defense and the contribution of the work to the existing knowledge base of petroleum engineering.

About Postgraduate Energy Economics, Management and Conservation

Energy is one of the most fundamental requirements of society. It influences almost everything we do, from finance and industry to politics and commerce. We rely on it for the simplest tasks like boiling a kettleor turning on a lightbulb and it drives changes in global economies and world markets.

An Energy Economics, Management and Conservation PhD programme represents the apex of academic study in this field and informs many of the decisions made by international organisations and governments. To study it, you’ll need strong postgraduate credentials and a proposal for a piece of original research which you’ll perform and write about during your PhD.

There are currently 12 universities in the UK which offer this course and they offer a truly interdisciplinary academic experience which is extremely relevant to global business.

What to Expect

You can expect to study for three to six years and perform a significant amount of self-directed study, exploring topics relevant to your proposal which might include renewable energy economics, energy policy analysis and environmental sustainability. You may collaborate with your university industry partners and other organisations within the wider research community.

The main focus of the PhD is a dissertation project, which you’ll write under the supervision of your academic tutor and once graduated, you’ll be an authority in your area of the field, ready to find meaningful work in energy economics, policy analysis or sustainable energy research.

John and Willie Leone Family

Department of energy and mineral engineering.

Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)

Research and graduate education in EME spans petroleum engineering and reservoir characterization, electricity market design, grid integration of diverse fuels and technology, mining engineering and mineral processing, fuel chemistry and processing, energy conversion engineering, environmental safety, and health-related issues associated with the energy and mineral resource sector, among many others. Methodologies include experimental laboratory science, computational modeling and simulation, and advanced data analytics. Our faculty are leading scholars in methods of applied science, engineering, and economics for energy and mineral resource questions. The Ph.D. program in EME offers a unique graduate environment to develop your research expertise for the energy challenges of the future.

For students wtihout a M.S. degree, 24 additional course credits must be taken. Beyond the 24 additional course credits, you must take 12 additional course credits, plus 12 credits of research. At least 18 credits of these must be at the 500 or 600 level. This will equate to 48 credits total. 

If an option is desired, then 12 option course credits are required (this is included in the 48 credits total). Students who choose not to select an option only need to meet the total credit and core program course requirements. Because each thesis research problem is unique, the need for taking additional courses varies from student to student, and the student's thesis advisor and committee will make the final decision whether or not the additional courses should be part of a student's official course of study.

For details on any of the specific requirements for the Ph.D. degree, click on the topics below.

Students with an M.S. Degree

The required minimum number of total credits beyond the M.S. degree for the EME Ph.D. degree is 24, including 12 credits of research beyond the M.S. Of the remaining 12 credits, four core program credits are required. If an option is desired and was not declared for the M.S. degree, then 12 option course credits are required. At least 18 of the required course credits for the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees must be at the 500 or 600 level. Students who choose not to select an option only need to meet the total credit and core program course requirements. Because each thesis research problem is unique, the need for taking additional courses varies from student to student, and the student's thesis advisor and committee will make the final decision whether or not the additional courses should be part of a student's official course of study.

Required Core Course for Ph.D. Degree

Ph.D. students must take one (1) course (3 credits of core courses) from this list. Ph.D. students without an M.S. are required to take three (3) courses (9 credits of core courses) from this list.

• EME 501(3): Design Under Uncertainty in EME Systems
• EME 511(3): Interfacial Phenomena in EME Systems
• EME 521(3): Mathematical Modeling of EME Systems
• EME 531(3): Thermodynamics in EME Systems
• EME 551(3): Safety, Health, and Environmental Risks in EME Production

Options for Course of Study

Students are not required to choose an option and may complete the base program in EME. However, a student who desires disciplinary identity may choose from among the following available graduate options:

• Energy Systems Engineering (ESysE)
• Fuel Science (FSc)
• Mining and Mineral Process Engineering (MMPE)
• Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (PNGE)

Qualifying Examination

Progress in the Ph.D. degree program in Energy and Mineral Engineering will require passing the Ph.D. qualifying examination, administered by the Graduate Faculty of the EME graduate program. 

The qualifying exam is designed to assess a student’s potential for doctoral level research. Students are required to take the qualifying exam within three (3) semesters of being admitted to the Ph.D. program. Candidates will be allowed a maximum of two (2) attempts to pass the qualifying exam. The EME qualifying exam consists of a knowledge-based component (written) and a research-based component (written and oral). The detailed policies and procedures for the EME Qualifying Exam are provided in the document below.

EME Qualifying Exam Format and Procedure  

English Competency Examination

All Ph.D. students, domestic and international, will undergo an assessment of English competency during their first year. The assessment will include the student's ability to read and comprehend technical literature, the ability to write well, the ability to make formal presentations and the ability to participate in scientific and technical discussions. The assessment will be conducted during the Ph.D. Candidacy Examination. Students must demonstrate English competency before scheduling the Ph.D. Comprehensive Examination. If the expected level of competency is not demonstrated, students will be required to take certain English courses to improve their skills.

Ph.D. Comprehensive Examination

A Comprehensive Examination is required of all doctoral candidates by the Graduate School. The examination in EME is primarily an oral examination, administered by the candidate's Ph.D. committee. The committee will consist of at least three faculty members in the EME Program and at least one faculty member in a related field (outside the department). The committee chair will ordinarily be the candidate's thesis advisor.

The examination takes place in two phases. First, the student will give an oral presentation on some aspect of his/her research topic, including objectives, methods, and current progress. The second phase will consist of questions by the committee to determine the candidate's ability to synthesize his/her knowledge, especially in his/her area of specialization, and apply the tools learned to the solution of relevant problems.

Ph.D. Dissertation Defense

The final step to obtaining a doctoral degree is the Ph.D. Thesis Defense. This process consists of a written thesis and an oral defense administered by the Ph.D. committee. Upon successful completion of the defense, the student will submit the final version of the thesis to the Graduate School after obtaining the required signatures from the advisor, the Ph.D. committee and the EME graduate program officer.

What are the career prospects for graduates of the programs? Our program prepares students for careers in industry, banking and investment, government, international organizations and consulting firms. These fields require training in economics, management, and policy relating to mineral and energy industries. Our Master’s students are highly competitive with MBA students, but have the added advantage of having much stronger quantitative training and a thorough understanding of energy, minerals, and related environmental and technology issues. Our PhD students are more applied than those from more traditional economics programs, making them particularly well-suited for non-academic positions that require greater analytical and research abilities than at the Master’s level.

Can I work part-time while taking the MEE program? MEE classes are almost exclusively offered on a 2-schedule. Many students work part-time while doing the program. While it is not possible to guarantee classes will be on a 2-day schedule, we will do all that we can to schedule classes in this manner.

Is the MEE program the right program for me? If you are interested in a strong applied technical program in energy and minerals and related issues, our program would be a good choice. We have a strong alumni network and excellent reputation in these fields. If you are interested in a broader degree, other business schools may be a better fit. Although the tools you will learn can also be applied to other areas, most of our alumni go into the mineral, energy, or related fields. However, a number of our alumni have subsequently moved into high tech and other areas.

What are the requirements for acceptance into the program? Typically, the department accepts graduate students who have high intellectual abilities, strong integrity, a good work ethic, and developed quantitative skills as demonstrated by their course work and exams. Your Statement of Goals should illustrate your strong interest in energy, minerals, or related environmental and technological issues. The Statement should also include examples of strong leadership potential as demonstrated by previous academic, personal, and employment successes.

Are GRE or GMAT scores required? Visit the MEE program overview for details on GRE scores and requirements under the admissions requirement tab for each program.

What are the minimum TOEFL or IELTS requirements for students with English as a second language? Students whose native language is not English must submit acceptable TOEFL scores as part of the application process. Please view the ENGLISH PROFICIENCY tab for requirements here.

What are the approximate program lengths? MS Mineral and Energy Economics: 3 semesters (minimum 36 credits). Dual Degree Petroleum Economics and Management – 16 months (minimum of 48 credits). PhD in Mineral and Energy Economics – 4 to 6 years (minimum of 48 hours of course work plus 24 thesis credits. It takes the average student 1.5 to 2 years to complete their thesis). Registering for 9 credits is full-time status. Students who transfer work from other graduate programs may take less time.

How do I apply to the program? You can apply online at http://mines.edu/graduate_admissions .

What are the application deadlines? Please check the application deadlines page  for details.

Can I start the program in the fall or spring? It is preferred to start the program in the fall, as the fall courses provide a good introduction to the courses offered in the spring. The prerequisite courses required to begin in the spring prohibit most students from qualifying for spring entry. Prior to starting the program, students must complete a course in Principles of Microeconomics, a course in Probability and Statistics, and one semester of college-level calculus all three with a grade of B or better. Students will only be allowed to enter the program in the spring if they have completed all three prerequisites as well as an undergraduate or graduate course in mathematical economics, a course in natural resource economics.

What are the costs of the program? For tuition rates, visit  https://www.mines.edu/graduate-admissions/costs/

How do I qualify for in-state tuition? For more information visit: https://www.mines.edu/registrar/residency-cof/

I am an international student and have been accepted into the program. When can I expect to get my visa paperwork? Visa paperwork can’t go out more than 90 days prior to enrollment. The visa paperwork is handled by the international office. You will receive information regarding your Visa in your acceptance letter.

As an international student, how long is my Optional Practical Training (OPT) with a MEE degree? The MEE program is listed under Classification of Instructional Program (CIP) code 45.0603 (Econometrics and Quantitative Economics), which is a STEM designated degree program by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. As a result, you are eligible for an additional 17 months OPT to the standard 12 months, for a total of 29 months.

I have completed my application packet. When can I expect to receive the decision? The MEE Committee will review and submit their decision to the Graduate School. Please allow at least one month after your application has been released to the division.

Who should I get to write letters of reference for me? Professors from classes you have taken as well as employers and supervisors all are acceptable references.

Is there funding available for the MEE programs? A limited amount of financial aid, awarded competitively, is available for new and returning students. Most of the aid is in the form of teaching assistantships (TAs) or faculty classroom support. Some faculty hire research assistants, but usually these positions go to continuing students. Most awards begin in the fall term. For consideration, you must have your application complete by March 1 (to begin in the fall) or by Oct. 1 (to begin in the spring). Initial awards are made close to March 15 and Oct. 15. The Division of Economics and Business provides partial funding for about 25 percent of the students enrolled in its programs. The awards range from $1,200 to $5,000 a semester. The average award is $2,800 a semester. Mines does not grant tuition waivers.

How do I apply for funding for the MEE programs? To be considered for financial aid, check “Yes” that you wish to apply for financial aid in your application.

If I am admitted to a MEE graduate program, can I defer admission? Yes. Students admitted to our graduate programs can request a one-year deferral. If they do not enroll the semester after the deferral period expires, they must reapply, pay application fees, and be accepted, just the same as any new applicant. Financial aid requests will defer with your deferral request. However, your award is not deferred. You will be reconsidered for the semester in which you plan to enroll in the program.

What are the equivalent of a course pre-requisites? Students must earn a B or better in Calculus 1; Introductory Probability and Statistics; and Principles of Microeconomics. A grade of a B- is not acceptable. For spring semester entry, students must have also completed a course in mathematical economics (EBGN509 or equivalent) and a course in natural resource economics (EBGN510 or equivalent) and hold a degree in economics.

Can I take the pre-requisites while attending the program? No, deficiencies must be taken before you arrive at Mines.

Can I test out of the pre-requisites? No, all students must complete the prerequisite courses. An official transcript showing the prerequisite courses must be sent to the division.

What undergraduate majors are acceptable for applying to the program? We require the equivalent of a U.S. Bachelor’s degree to consider your application for the program. Any undergraduate degree is acceptable provided you have strong math and quantitative skills and have completed courses with a passing grade of “B” or better, including the 3 prerequisite courses.

FAQs for current students

What is the recommended course sequence my first semester? The recommended course sequencing depends on your chosen field (Economics and Public Policy versus Quantitative Business Methods), how many courses you take each semester, and in which program you are enrolled (MEE or IFP). A typical year’s course sequence for a student beginning in the fall term is given below:

1st Fall Semester: EBGN509 Mathematical Economics EBGN510 Natural Resource Economics Two electives

What are the GPA requirements for graduation? All graduate students must maintain a 3.0 (B) Grade Point Average (GPA). No credit is given for courses with an earned grade below 1.7 (C-).

What is the policy for transfer credits? The MEE Committee at Mines must review and approve all graduate level-transfer credits. These credits must not have been used as credit towards a Bachelor Degree. The committee allows up to 6 hours of approved graduate-level course work to be transferred from other graduate programs towards a non-thesis Masters Degree and up to 9 hours towards a thesis based program. The committee allows up to 24 credits of approved graduate-level course work towards a PhD degree. However, the average number of approved transfer hours for a PhD student is 12. For those students with a completed Master Degree in another program, the committee allows up to 36 credits of approved graduate-level course work towards a PhD. Transfer credits taken outside of Mines are not included in calculating the student’s grade point average at Mines.

Master of Science Program

How do I choose my elective courses? Students are encouraged to choose elective courses that build upon the core and specialization classes of the program by selecting additional graduate level courses within any academic department at Mines. However, courses chosen outside the department must be approved by your advisor.

PhD Program

What is the process for selecting a minor? PhD students may complete at least 12 semester hours in a focused area of study outside of their specialization that will become their minor. Often, but not always, a minor is chosen from another department. To select a minor, consult with your academic advisor and thesis committee. However, it is suggested that you select an academic program at Mines that interests you and compliments your MEE program. Examples of external minors include: Environmental Sciences, Operations Research, Political Science, and Mathematics.

What is the Qualifying Exam and when is it offered? How do I prepare for it? Upon completion of the core course work, students must pass a qualifying written examination to become a candidate for the PhD degree. The qualifying exam is offered in the summer and is administered by the division qualifier committee. This exam is designed to test the student’s competence in core courses and a reading list of additional topics. Once qualified, the PhD student is required to present a research presentation.

What is the purpose of the Qualifier Exam and who is eligible to take it? To be eligible to take the Qualifier, you must formally apply and be accepted into the MEE PhD program. The purpose of the Qualifier is to test a student’s ability to apply principles from the prerequisite and core courses and extended core.

How do I select an advisor for my Thesis? Begin by identifying a faculty member with similar interest and consult with your current program advisor. Your Thesis Advisor must be a faculty member in the Division of Economics and Business, although you may select thesis committee members who are outside this division.

How do I select a Thesis Committee? Select an area of research interest and a Thesis Advisor. Your Thesis Advisor can provide suggestions for a Thesis Committee. As a general guideline, your Thesis Committee should consist of at least four professionals who are familiar with, or whose area of expertise will significantly compliment your topic of research. You should include additional faculty members from the Division of Economics and Business, and you may wish to (but are not required to) include a professional from another department on campus. You are also permitted one “ex officio committee member” on your Thesis Committee who is outside of Mines. See the Bulletin for more details.

What is a Proposal Defense? A Proposal Defense is an organized Thesis Committee meeting where you will present the anticipated hypothesis, methodology, and expected outcomes for your Thesis, which must be formally approved by your Thesis Committee. The Proposal Defense also provides an optimal opportunity for you to present an anticipated timeline of when you believe you will be sufficiently ready to take your oral and written comprehensive examinations, and how you believe your research will progress.

What is the Mines/IFP Dual Degree program in Petroleum Economics and Management? The Mines/IFP program is a unique graduate program offered by the Colorado School of Mines, Division of Economics and Business in Golden, Colorado and the IFP School in Paris. It is designed to provide the economic and business skills along with international cultural experience required to become a leader in government and industry in the area of petroleum. This highly focused and demanding program enables students to earn the equivalent of two Master of Science degrees in approximately 16 months. Students will perform half their coursework at Mines and the other half at IFP.

What are the two degrees that I will earn? The two distinguished degrees are Masters of Science Degree in Mineral and Energy Economics at Mines and Diplôme d’Ingénieur in Petroleum Economics and Management from IFP.

What background is required for admission into the program? Qualifications for the program include the equivalent of a U.S. Bachelor’s degree with a strong academic background, a keen interest in an international career in the public or private sector relating to the petroleum and other energy industries, plus a commitment to excellence and leadership. For professionals working in industry, research or government organizations, both experience and academic background will be taken into consideration.

How does the IFP program prepare me for a job? Graduates are able to work in teams in an international environment and have developed strong economic, management, and decision-making skills. Thus, they are well positioned to become leaders in the fast-paced petroleum industry. Because students earn a MS in Mineral and Energy Economics at Mines, we track the placement of the Dual Degree students with the full-time MEE students. A list of recent companies who have hired our students and a sample of the positions titles can be found here.

What advantage does the IFP program present over other Master of Science degrees in Management? The Mines/IFP program is highly quantitative and provides students the opportunity to specifically focus in the area of petroleum management. To better prepare for occupational interests, students have the opportunity to specialize in either economics/public policy (EPP) or quantitative business analysis (QBA). Both the international nature of the program and its students also provide important intercultural experiences as preparation for work in a truly global industry.

What is the approximate program length? The program consists of 48 semester hours, with 24 hours taken at each institution. The entire program will take 16 months if you start in August. Students spend the fall at Mines, then the spring and summer sessions at IFP, and return to Mines for the fall term to finish the degree. To get a general idea, the dates are approximately as follows:

First semester: Third week in August to mid December at Mines. Second Semester: First week in January to third week in April at IFP. Third Semester: First week in May to third week in July at IFP. Fourth Semester: Third week in August to mid – December at Mines.

I understand that the IFP program is highly structured, but may I choose my classes? While completing coursework at Mines, non-thesis students may choose from courses within their Field of Specialization and one elective in addition to the required core courses. Most classes at IFP are considered core courses and may not be changed.

How do I choose my elective courses? Students are encouraged to choose elective courses that build upon the core and specialization classes of the program by selecting additional graduate level courses within EB or with permission from any other academic department at Mines.

May I choose a Thesis option? A thesis option is available for IFP students but it would typically require an extra semester of work. The thesis students take 2 courses in their specialization instead of 3, no electives, but are also required to complete 12 credits of thesis work.

Do I have to learn French? Courses at both Mines and IFP are taught in English; however, to fully maximize your educational and cultural experience it is recommended that you prepare yourself by taking a course in French.

I have already taken graduate courses at another school. Can I transfer these courses in for my Master’s Degree? Only the transfer credits from IFP are allowed in this program. However, you will not have to retake any core courses you have already taken if the previous course is approved by the current instructor of the relevant course and your advisor.

What financial aid is available for the program? We have a limited amount of financial aid available, which is awarded competitively. Aid is usually in the form of teaching and research assistantships and is only available while at Mines. Some faculty hire research assistants, but usually these go to continuing, not new students.

What are tuition and fees and other costs for the program? The latest tuition and fees for Mines can be found here. In addition to the normal tuition and fees, the Mines/IFP program charges and additional surcharge of $1,000 per semester. Mines students have about $500 in fees each semester to pay at IFP. IFP students have about $800 in fees to pay each semester at Mines.

I am currently Colorado resident. Will living in France for 8 months impact my residential requirements for Colorado residency? No, you are considered a student at the Colorado School of Mines even while abroad. For additional questions about Colorado residency requirements please contact the Mines Registrar’s office.

How do I find housing in Golden? The best way to find appropriate housing is to come a bit early. The earlier you arrive the better your selection will be. When making arrangements for housing in Colorado, be mindful that you will only be attending classes from August through December. On-campus housing at Mines sometimes has a waiting list. If you are interested in on-campus housing, get on the waiting list as soon as possible. See the website for information on Mines Park.

How do I find housing in Paris? Housing in Paris for single students is usually available through IFP at rates somewhat comparable to those in Golden. For this housing you will make arrangements before you leave for Paris by filing out a housing request form. IFP housing for families is somewhat more limited. Non-IFP housing is typically secured after your arrival in Paris.

When should I arrive in Paris? The dates on which you should arrive will vary each year. Class typically begins the first week in January.

Do I need a visa for France? E.U. residents do not require French visas. Most other students will require a student long stay visa. We will fill out visa paper work and send for visas early in the fall semester to the French Consulate in Los Angeles.

Thinking of Pursuing a PhD in Economics? Info on Graduate School and Beyond

Kasey Chatterji-Len and Anna Kovner

Becoming a PhD economist can provide a fulfilling and financially secure career path. However, getting started in the field can be daunting if you don’t know much about the preparation you’ll need and the available job opportunities. If you’re wondering what it means to be an economics researcher or how to become one, please read on. We’ll review how to prepare for a career in economics research, what an economics PhD program entails, and what types of opportunities it might bring. Economic education is a core component of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s mission to serve the community. To empower would-be economists, this post provides information for students who seek a career in economics research. We hope this information will be helpful to students interested in economics, regardless of their background and economic situation.  This information is most applicable to students applying to programs in the United States.  

The Breadth of Economics Research  

Academic disciplines conduct research in different ways, so it’s important to have a basic understanding of the types of questions economists ask and how they approach answering them. There are many definitions of economics, but a broadly useful one is the study of how people, organizations, and governments make decisions under different constraints, and how those decisions may affect their outcomes. 

When answering these questions, economists seek to ground their analyses in models and to be quantitatively precise about the effects they assign to any given cause. The range of topics economists can study is wide, but the accepted approaches to answering questions are stricter. Some examples of what economists might ask: 

• How do different public housing programs affect the children who live there? 
• Does a certain type of law encourage businesses to innovate? 
• How will a change in the interest rate affect inflation and unemployment rates? 
• How much does affordable health insurance improve people’s health? 
• How can poor countries eradicate poverty? 

There are many different subfields within economics, including, but not limited to behavioral, econometrics, energy/environmental, development, financial, international, monetary, public, and urban economics. You can familiarize yourself with the latest work in economics by subscribing to working paper series, such as NBER’s New This Week or the New York Fed’s Staff Reports . To get an idea of the breadth of questions economists can answer, you could listen to Stephen Dubner’s “ Freakonomics Radio ” podcast. You may also want to explore the Journal of Economic Perspectives , the New York Fed’s Liberty Street Economics blog, VoxDev , or VoxEU .  

What Is a PhD Program Like?    

Economics PhD programs typically last five to seven years. Unlike masters programs, they are often fully funded with a stipend, though most require students to complete teaching assistant and/or research assistant (RA) work as part of their funding package. In the first two years, students take classes, many of which are mathematically demanding. The rest of the program can include additional classes but is primarily devoted to original research with the aim of producing publishable papers that will constitute the dissertation.  

Faculty advisors are a central part of PhD programs, as students look to them for guidance during the research process. Economics PhD programs are offered within university economics departments, but there are similar programs in public policy and business schools. You can look at their websites to understand any differences in coursework and subsequent job placements. 

What Can You Do with an Economics PhD?  

Upon graduation, students can obtain jobs in a variety of industries. Many PhD students hope to become university professors. Governments and public policy-related institutions such as the Federal Reserve System, the U.S. federal government, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) also hire economists to work on policy, lead programs, and conduct research. Finally, economics PhD graduates can also find employment at a variety of private sector companies, including banks, economic consulting firms, and big tech companies. The pay for these different positions can vary. According to the American Economics Association (AEA), the average starting salary for economics assistant professors in 2022-23 was approximately $140,000 at PhD granting institutions and $98,000 at BA granting institutions. 

Programs often publish the placements of their PhD graduates, so you can look online to see specific employment outcomes. See, for example, the University of Maryland’s placements . Ultimately, economists are highly regarded as authorities on a variety of topics. Governments, nonprofits, philanthropic foundations, financial institutions, and non-financial businesses all look to economists to answer important questions about how to best achieve their goals. Thus, earning an economics Ph.D. can potentially help you to influence issues that are important to you. 

Preparing for an Economics PhD Program  

There are several components to an economics PhD program application: college transcripts, GRE scores, letters of recommendation, and personal statements. Please download the Appendix linked below to learn more about transcripts and letters of recommendation. The Appendix details ways in which you can select coursework, obtain research experience, and develop relationships to position yourself for success as a PhD applicant.  

If you feel that you are too far along in your academic career to take enough of the classes described in the Appendix, this does not necessarily preclude you from pursuing an economics PhD. For example, it’s possible to take some of these classes through a master’s program, or through a pre-doctoral RA job. Some pre-doctoral RA jobs, such as the one here at the New York Fed , may enable you to take classes in preparation for graduate school. If you are concerned about your transcript, reach out to an economist at your university for advice; program standards for coursework and grades vary, and it’s a good idea to get more personalized advice. 

Research Experience   

If you’re interested in becoming an economics researcher and applying to PhD programs, it’s best to get research experience as soon as possible. Working as an RA is a great way to learn how to conduct research and get a better idea of whether it’s the right career path for you. Additionally, it can help you obtain a letter of recommendation for graduate school applications and improve your qualifications.  

All types of academic research can be enriching, but it’s beneficial to gain experience working directly with an economist. To find a position, you can reach out to professors whose work you find interesting or find an RA program at your school. Typical RA tasks may involve data collection and cleaning, as well as running analyses and creating charts to represent results. This is where coding skills become crucial; having taken math, statistics, and econometrics courses will also enable you to take on more responsibilities. 

You may also have the opportunity to conduct your own research, possibly under the supervision of a professor at your university. This research could be self-initiated or part of a course such as a thesis workshop. Self-directed research is a great opportunity to learn about all stages of the research process. It’s also an excellent opportunity to create a writing sample for graduate school applications. Ultimately, though, your motivation for conducting your own research project should be that you want to answer a question.  One thing economists have in common is a love of answering questions using data and theory. 

Research experience is also often obtained after completing an undergraduate or master’s degree. Taking on a full-time RA position before applying to PhD programs is very common and can make you a more competitive applicant. You may either get an RA job working for a professor or participate in a pre-doctoral RA program.  

Research assistant programs are more structured than positions with individual professors or projects, which could be helpful. Universities, parts of the government, think tanks, research organizations, and the Federal Reserve System are all good places to look for research assistant programs. To help you decide which opportunities are most desirable, you may want to ask potential employers : Where do people in this program tend to go afterward? Will I be working directly with an economist? How much of my time will be spent on academic research work? Will I be able to take classes as part of this program? Considering whether an economist will be able to evaluate your performance is an important factor for recommendation letters. The ability to take classes, either through tuition reimbursement or waivers, can also be an important benefit. 

The Research Analyst program here at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is one example of these programs and you should check it out here . The Federal Reserve Board of Governors also has a large program, and many other regional Federal Reserve Banks have similar programs. In addition, the PREDOC website and the  NBER post listings of RA opportunities. J-PAL and IPA also tend to recruit RAs for economic development projects.

A PhD may not be for everyone, but it is for anyone—people of all genders, religions, ethnicities, races, and national origins have PhDs in economics. Many economists majored in economics, but others majored in math, physics, or chemistry. Because economics is such an integral part of policymaking, it is important that economists come from a wide range of backgrounds so policy can be stronger and more effective. The inclusion of differing perspectives helps ensure that the contribution of economists to work in public policy, academia, and beyond effectively serves the broadest range of society.

Doing Your PhD in Energy and Environmental Economics at Harris

If you are considering a PhD in energy and environmental economics, or if you are a professor advising such a student, we encourage you to consider a PhD in Public Policy from the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy. Between the large (and still growing!) energy and environmental faculty group within Harris, related faculty in other units, and the intellectual hub provided by the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago ( EPIC ), we believe that Harris is one of the very best places for PhD students to come study research problems at the intersection of energy and the environment, in both the developed and developing world.

The faculty group focused on energy and the environment has grown substantially in the past few years. At Harris, you will have the opportunity to take courses from and work with Fiona Burlig , Steve Cicala , Eyal Frank , Michael Greenstone , Koichiro Ito , Amir Jina , Ryan Kellogg , and Bob Rosner . We are currently on the market for yet more faculty in this area.

The total size of a Harris PhD cohort is modest—roughly 10 students per year total—so that admitted students receive a level of personal attention from faculty that is unusual for programs of this caliber. Beyond the core Harris energy faculty, students also have the opportunity to work with and learn from Harris’s deep bench of applied microeconomists and political economists, including faculty such as Oendrila Dube and Austin Wright who have studied the relationship between energy resources and conflict. Outside of Harris, our students can work with and learn from faculty in other units who work on energy and the environment, including Thom Covert , Elizabeth Moyer , Mark Templeton , and Bob Topel .

Like all Harris PhDs, students focusing on energy and the environment take a rigorous first-year course sequence on economics, econometrics, and political science. In their second year, students then take a three-quarter sequence on energy and environmental economics. This sequence is currently taught by Professors Greenstone, Kellogg, and Ito. These second-year courses are complemented by a suite of options for additional coursework in other economic subfields and in applied econometrics. Our students regularly enroll in PhD courses offered by the University of Chicago’s Kenneth C. Griffin Department of Economics.

New for 2018-2019, students will be able to apply for a traineeship program in Data Science for Energy and Environmental Research , funded by a $3 million grant from the NSF. This program is aimed at Harris PhD students who are particularly interested in learning frontier data science methods and applying these tools to interdisciplinary problems at the intersection of food, energy, water, and the environment. Harris PhD students who are admitted as trainees will receive two years of tuition and stipend support through this program. All Harris PhDs will have access to courses and workshops offered through this traineeship, which will include interdisciplinary offerings in data science and the geosciences.

Beyond formal classroom training, the rich seminar culture at Chicago offers many opportunities to see presentations of cutting-edge research. Options include the EPIC energy and environment lunch workshop , Harris public policy and economics workshop , Harris development lunch , Becker-Friedman workshop , and Booth applied economics workshop , among others. Students have opportunities to obtain feedback on their own work at both the EPIC lunch and the Harris Monday PhD workshop .

We encourage students from diverse backgrounds to apply. Our diverse faculty is a complementary resource that enables students to explore a wide range of research questions in energy and the environment. While we do expect our entering students to have a strong math background—multivariate calculus and statistical coursework are minima—do not let doubts about your technical training prevent you from applying. If we admit you, it’s because we think you’re smart enough to handle our technical PhD courses, and because we’re committed to providing the mathematical training you need.

June 2024 Economic Forecast

Despite Near-Term Subtrend Growth, UCLA Anderson Forecast Sees No Recession on the Horizon in 2024

• National election results could usher in new economic policies that influence forecast in 2025 and beyond
• California’s economy will grow faster than the nation’s in 2025, despite slower growth in 2024

Los Angeles (June 6, 2024) — Analysis by UCLA Anderson Forecast suggests the slowing of the economy does not portend a national recession, despite three months of subtrend growth in the first quarter of 2024 — following six solid months of growth that exceeded the 2.5% average growth of recent years — and two more quarters of subtrend growth forecasted for the summer and fall of 2024.

In California, the forces driving the state’s robust economy remain in place. These forces saw the state grow at a 3.7% compound annual rate in 2023, faster than all but three large states: Washington, Florida and Texas (though on a per capita basis, California grew marginally slower than Texas and faster than any of the other large states). However, in 2024, the continued slowing of the national economy will affect the state’s economy. Specific sectoral weaknesses in California, as evidenced by its high unemployment rate, will contribute to 2024’s being an atypical year of slower-than-U.S. growth for the state. The following two years, though, will be characterized by more typical, higher-than-U.S. economic growth.

The national forecast

In the U.S. forecast report, UCLA Anderson Forecast director Jerry Nickelsburg outlines two ways that slower economic growth might occur. The first is a contraction in demand, the type of slow growth that typically results in press reports detailing “a sharp slowdown in GDP growth” or a jobs report that “shows looser labor markets.” These reports make it sound as if the economy is on the brink of a recession. But there is another scenario that leads to slow growth. That occurs when demand is sufficiently strong for more rapid growth, but supply constraints are inhibiting economic growth. These can take the form of tight labor markets or a lack of physical productive capacity. At present, these latter conditions are slowing the economy and are also consistent with persistently high interest rates.

In circumstances where labor markets are loose, companies adjust their workforce to account for changes in demand, and such adjustments result in an elevation of the layoff rate. But the layoff rate is at historically low levels and it is not increasing. If firms were hoarding labor after the immediate, post-pandemic labor shortage, then the redundant labor would lead to a decrease in worker productivity. But in 2023, productivity increased by 2.9%, led by non-manufacturing business.

Faced with sufficient demand and a shortage of labor, firms are attempting to increase output with additional capital, as evidenced by record durable goods orders, increased manufacturing backlogs and the rush to build new factories. Petroleum extraction that provides fuel for economic growth, which declined because of weather events in the early part of the year, has now come back to 13 million barrels per day.

The June Forecast report is not dissimilar to the report presented in March. The forecast for the second and third quarters of 2024 are somewhat stronger, while the fourth quarter of the year is predicted to be weaker than believed three months ago, owing to the aforementioned capacity constraints. In this U.S. presidential election year, Congress has been passing bipartisan funding bills, and warning bells from Washington have been silenced for the time being. The forecast expects that the labor market constraints will ease in 2025 because of higher immigration rates coupled with higher wages, which in turn will induce higher labor force participation rates among prime working-age adults. Construction of new factories and current industrial policy should also ease production constraints in 2025 and 2026, contributing to slightly above-trend growth in the forecast.

The oft predicted but never seen “recession next quarter” alarm bells have been silenced in the face of expansionary fiscal policy, new national industrial policy and robust consumer spending. Inflation is slowly finding new equilibrium in the 2.2% to 2.7% per annum range, kept higher by residential rents, automobile repair and higher health insurance premiums, and the Forecast expects the Federal Reserve to take a neutral stance, while economic growth rebounds to trend rates.

There are risks to the forecast. A protracted shutdown of government has been averted, but the possibility still exists. Geopolitical events might upset the current growth pattern. An important risk of the forecast would be a radically different economic policy after the November elections. The election results might usher in different national economic policy in 2025. These risks are substantial and bear watching, as they could well drive the economy off the current growth path that is predicted to return the U.S. economy to trend growth of 2.5%. Because of those uncertainties, the forecast predicts weaker business investment in the third and fourth quarters of 2024, corresponding to a wait-and-see approach by some firms until after the November election. The upside of the forecast is productivity growth based on new technology that drives higher wages and higher GDP. The economists’ view of AI and robotics is that the impact will be felt after 2026, as technology adoption tends to take time; current tight labor markets could accelerate that timeline.

The California Forecast

In California, the housing market manifests some uncommon conditions. In theory, persistently higher mortgage rates should lower housing prices, but the absence of inventory and pent-up demand by households has resulted in a seasonally adjusted increase in median home prices by 1.6% from the peak in May 2022. Home prices, as measured by the S&P Case Shiller Index, have been climbing since February of 2023 in San Diego by 11.4%, in Los Angeles by 8.7% and by 5.2% in San Francisco. With existing home sales at depression levels, builders should be responding with new developments, but a very wet winter has resulted in no significant growth in building permits. On the plus side, the most recent Allen Matkins/UCLA Anderson Forecast Commercial Real Estate Survey reported that 32% of the panelists in Northern California and 55% in Southern California would begin one or more new multi-family projects this year. The slow start to new home construction has been factored into the forecast, with weaker housing in 2024 and a resurgence in 2025.

For the past year, the Forecast has documented the slowdown in goods moving through the seaports and airports of California, the data suggesting a bottoming out. The downturn in imported goods movement at the state’s three major seaports reversed between March and June 2024. Some of the prior sharp turndown occurred when trans-Pac shipping diverted to East Coast ports as a way for shippers to mitigate risk while unsettled labor issues at West Coast ports worked themselves out. But with new labor contracts in place, the risk has abated, while global weather conditions have slowed shipping through the Panama Canal into the Gulf of Mexico. As a result, the Forecast predicts an increase of goods passing through California ports in the coming year.

The three-year forecast for California, once again, is for the state to grow faster than the U.S. — but not by much after 2024. The risks to the forecast are political and geopolitical; potentially, interest rates might still disrupt the current expansion on the downside and increased international immigration and accelerated onshoring of technical manufacturing on the upside.

The unemployment rate for the second quarter of this year is expected to average 5.2%, and the averages for 2024, 2025 and 2026 are expected to be 5.1%, 4.5% and 4.2%, respectively. The forecast for 2024, 2025 and 2026 is for total employment growth rates to be –0.3%, 2.3% and 2.8%.

In spite of the higher interest rates, the continued demand for a limited housing stock, coupled with state policies inducing new home building, should result in the beginning of a recovery in 2024, followed by solid growth in new home production thereafter. The expectation is for 110,000 net new units to be permitted in 2024 and permitted new units to grow to 152,000 by the end of 2026. Needless to say, this level of home building means that the prospect for the private sector building out of the housing affordability problem over the next three years is nil.

About UCLA Anderson Forecast

UCLA Anderson Forecast is one of the most widely watched and often-cited economic outlooks for California and the nation and was unique in predicting both the seriousness of the early-1990s downturn in California and the strength of the state’s rebound since 1993. The Forecast was credited as the first major U.S. economic forecasting group to call the recession of 2001 and, in March 2020, it was the first to declare that the recession caused by the COVID-19 pandemic had already begun.

Department of Economics

New joint degree in economics and management to offer exciting career pathways.

The Department of Economics is joining forces with one of the top business schools in the UK to launch a new undergraduate course.

The BSc Economics and Management degree combines two interrelated disciplines of economics and management, two highly ranked subjects by the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024, with the Department of Economics ranked number one in the UK and the Warwick Business School’s BSc Management ranked second by the same publication.

In today’s fast-changing economic landscape, business leaders, consultants, analysts and civil servants need to have a fundamental understanding of both disciplines: economic theory to be able to critically analyse economic data and managerial knowledge to adapt their business strategy accordingly.

This course will teach students the cutting-edge tools and latest research to do just that, helping them excel in their careers with transferable skills for any business.

Graduates from the Department of Economics and WBS have gone on to work for global names like Goldman Sachs, Unilever, Amazon, Google, PwC and UK Government departments such as the Department for Business and Trade.

Professor Elizabeth Jones, Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of Economics, said:

“We have been developing this programme for a number of years and are excited about its launch and subsequent growth over the coming years.” “The Department of Economics is renowned not only for its research, but also for its teaching, having been awarded the gold standard for teaching in the latest Teaching Excellence Framework. This combination will provide students with access to some of the world’s leading researchers in a range of areas, which will help them develop the knowledge, skills and practical expertise to succeed in their careers.” “We are excited by the opportunity to diversify our portfolio of undergraduate programmes and provide students with more choice when it comes to studying at a top University. Graduates from Warwick Economics are highly sought after and the added advantage for students to benefit from Warwick Business School’s expertise in providing placements will undoubtedly provide fantastic opportunities for students to meet their full potential.”

Professor Mark Johnson, Associate Dean of Undergraduate Programmes at Warwick Business School, said:

“It is great to see this course come to fruition after so much work behind the scenes. “Our ongoing dialogue with employers has revealed a real need from businesses and organisations for graduates who can combine management skills with an understanding of economics and some of the tools needed to navigate the economic landscape. “This course brings together world-class academics from one of the best business schools in the world and the leading researchers from an Economics department ranked second in the UK by the most recent Research Excellence Framework (REF). “At Warwick Business School we are for the Change Makers, those restless to change the world for the better. This course will enable students to gain the skills and knowledge to have a positive impact with any career they choose to build.”

The three-year course can also be extended to four with a placement year at a top company either in the UK or abroad. This gives students the chance to put what they have learned into action in the real world, and it has led to many on other courses securing jobs once they have graduated at leading firms like IBM, Porsche, Samsung and Deloitte.

Warwick Business School’s teaching was given the top gold standard by the UK Government's latest Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), with the University of Warwick one of just four Russell Group universities rated gold in all three categories - student experience, student outcomes, and for the overall assessment.
