Overview

The Economics program at Southern Methodist University is relatively small which allows for an open and friendly environment, and a low student-faculty ratio. Few programs can match the careful supervision, faculty contact time, and the individualized mentoring that our Ph.D. students receive.

Features

The department’s research strength encompasses a wide number of fields including macroeconomics and economic growth, international and urban economics, applied microeconomics and econometrics, microeconomic theory, and experimental and behavioral economics.

A hallmark of our program is an insistence on high quality theoretical training as a foundation for work in each of these fields.
