Introduction

The aim of the PhD program in Economics at Epoka University is designed to ensure that students acquire a thorough knowledge of economic theory, econometric and computational methods as well as the structure of modern economies, before beginning their own research under faculty supervision. The Ph.D. degree is awarded in recognition of the recipient's qualifications as a general economist and of the ability to make scholarly contributions in fields of specialization. The program gives equal emphasis to these two goals with formal courses and examinations, seminars, workshops, papers, and the dissertation. The Department also offers students the option to satisfy one of the minor field requirements through a program of supervised research. Students are also encouraged to take part in workshops in their fields of primary interest.
