January 15th is the deadline to apply if you wish to begin the program in September. Students are not required to identify a faculty supervisor.
A Ph.D. in Applied Economics will give you the skills to conduct research for businesses, governments, think tanks, and other research organizations, as well as to train the next generation of applied economics professionals as an academic.
The Ph.D. program combines advanced courses in applied economics with a major research dissertation. The core of the program focuses on microeconomic theory and quantitative methods with one advanced course in macroeconomics. The student and their advisory committee determine the remainder of the student’s field courses.
The Ph.D. in Applied Economics is a collaborative program offered by the departments of Agricultural and Resource Economics, Economics, and the Edwards School of Business, and the Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy at the University of Saskatchewan.
