Ph.D. in Economics
The Ph.D. in Economics is designed to provide self-directed students with academic training at the highest level, while allowing their participation as colleagues in research of fundamental importance.
At UMKC, we emphasize a heterodox-pluralistic approach to economics. We train students to teach in economics programs at liberal arts colleges and research universities in the United States and abroad, and to conduct research in economic theory, applied economic issues and policy-oriented problems.
The Ph.D. in Economics program spans traditional boundaries among disciplines.
