Overview

There are three structural elements to this Economics Ph.D. program at the University of Oklahoma:

The first is a rigorous and well-integrated core curriculum of economic theory and statistical analysis.
The second element consists of concentrated study in selected fields, including development economics, industrial organization, international economics, and public economics.
