Master’s and Ph.D. Programs
The agricultural economics curriculum at Purdue University is in the tradition of the Land Grant College philosophy: knowledge for the improvement of the human condition. Sound judgment, rigorous analysis and ability to define and solve problems are the goals of the professional agricultural economist. Our program endeavors to create a challenging environment of scholarship, creativity, and freedom of intellectual inquiry.
Study towards the master’s and Ph.D. degrees requires instruction in economic theory, quantitative methods and analysis, courses in specialized fields of interest, and completion of research project culminating in a written thesis or dissertation. The Ph.D. degree requires successful completion of a written qualifying exam in microeconomic theory and a written preliminary prospectus exam.
