The Georgetown PhD Program in Economics aims to prepare candidates for careers in teaching and research. Small class sizes offer students the opportunity to work closely with faculty on coursework and on dissertation research. These assignments involve active participation in faculty research projects or in teaching. This program is conducted in Santiago, Chile.
Graduate students are eligible for library carrels for study and research.
Promising candidates are fully funded through Graduate School and Economics Department assistantships. These assignments involve active participation in faculty research projects or in teaching. A high level of professional commitment to these positions is required for continued fellowship support. Because full-time students are more likely to achieve and maintain the momentum necessary to complete the program, the department admits only students who can devote full time to their studies. The program does not admit part-time students.
