PhD PROGRAMS � Economics The doctoral program in economics in the Krannert School of Management has a strong quantitative and analytical orientation that provides students with cutting-edge research skills and a broad understanding of economic institutions. The student-to-faculty ratio is low, ensuring personal attention from our committed faculty. Mouli Modak Students have access to state-of-the-art research tools, including Economics PhD Student the Vernon Smith Experimental Economics Laboratory and computational resources, so they can produce work on the research frontier. Our students leverage these opportunities to find employment in research, teaching, business and government. I find helpful people every­ where in the department. Professors are very welcom­ ing toward curious questions, and many of them have an open-door policy. The departmental seminars and coffee hours are instrumen­ tal in bringing students and faculty in touch with recent research in the field. My stay of nearly two years has been fulfilling, and I do not regret giving up a corporate job offer to pursue research. One of the nice things about our program is that we have a low student-to-faculty ratio. It provides the students with more hands-on experience being involved with faculty research.
