Overview

Our incoming cohorts are small by choice. On average we bring in nine PhD students each year.

Because of the applied nature of our program, our students have diverse backgrounds: from economics, to engineering and physics.

Features

This diversity enhances our Economics program at The University of New Mexico and provides an excellent background for applied research.

The success of our approach can be found in our placements in academia, federal and state government, the private sector, and prestigious post-doctoral fellowships across all of our fields.
