Department of Economics
Professional Placement
Students who have received or will soon receive the Ph.D. in Economics are assisted by the Department in finding suitable positions. Through exchange of information with universities, colleges, government agencies, research institutes, and others, the Department learns of openings available to qualified economists.
The Department maintains a staff person to coordinate and facilitate placement activities, and a faculty member is assigned to oversee and advise on placement. Serious effort is made to help students find positions in which their capacities will be both utilized and rewarded. The Department has been highly successful in placing students, which is a reflection not only of the importance it places on this activity, but also of the quality of its students and their training.
