The Department of Economics at Stanford University provides an exceptional program for advanced graduate studies. Our Ph.D. degree signifies mastery of a broad and demanding curriculum that emphasizes acquisition and refinement of research skills. Students benefit from an intellectually rich and stimulating academic environment. The Department's world-renowned faculty is embedded within a larger community of prominent economists who are affiliated with other Stanford departments, graduate programs, or research institutions. Students also have access to outstanding research facilities, including the Stanford libraries and computer systems. We ensure that Ph.D. candidates have ample opportunities to take advantage of these resources by providing a generous program of financial support.
The best way to appreciate the many advantages of graduate education at Stanford is to visit the University. This brochure is no more than an introduction. Admitted students are encouraged to visit the Department at any time, but especially during the April Flyout, when special activities are planned.
