Information for Prospective/Incoming Grad Students

General information.

Our Ph.D. program faculty consists of 91 economists drawn from the Cornell University Economics Department, the Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, Johnson School, the Department of Policy Analysis and Management, the Division of Nutritional Sciences, the Hotel School, and the Law School. The Ph.D. degree in Economics is administered by the Cornell Graduate School as the only degree offered by the Graduate Field of Economics.  To view our program field faculty, click here .

The breadth of our faculty offers students many opportunities. Students can focus their doctoral research on a wide range of economics-related topics provided at least two Ph.D. program faculty members approve the topic and agree to supervise the student. The full committee consists of a chair from the Ph.D. program faculty and two or three additional members of the Cornell Graduate Faculty. This flexibility allows students to form dissertation committees that reflect very specific specializations from around Cornell.

Cornell is also what we call an open campus. Students may take courses in areas other than economics and participate in interdisciplinary work. Indeed, many doctoral-level courses in economics are offered by faculty members in colleges and schools across the campus.

Prerequisites

Economics courses.

Our first semester courses presume a thorough knowledge of microeconomics at the level of a rigorous treatment of undergraduate intermediate theory. More economics background is preferred, but an economics major is not required.

Mathematics

We admit students from a variety of academic backgrounds. Those whose prior education was primarily in economics typically excelled in advanced undergraduate or graduate (e.g., Master's) courses, including proof-based mathematics courses at least through linear algebra. With applicants whose previous degree was not in economics, we look for especially strong technical skills as well as some economics coursework.

Courses called Mathematics for Economists, Mathematics for Social Scientists, and Econometrics are not a substitute for formal mathematics.

A mathematics review course is offered before classes in the first three weeks of August. Although it is not required, in our experience most entering students benefit significantly from this course.

Admissions and Financial Aid

Graduate School Admissions https://gradschool.cornell.edu/admissions

Graduate School Admission Policies (Read these policies carefully: you may not apply to two different Cornell graduate programs simultaneously.) https://gradschool.cornell.edu/admissions/important-application-policies

*Students in Economics may only start in the Fall semester. The field of Economics no longer accepts paper application materials.  Please click here to use the online application .

*There is no preadmission application in Economics. 

*The Ph.D. program in Economics does not require an applicant to have completed an undergraduate degree in economics or in mathematics for admission.

Applications, including letters of reference, GRE and TOEFL/IELTS scores, must be completed online by January 15th. Admissions are generally announced in mid-March.

Cornell University, like most prominent American graduate schools, is a member of the Council of Graduate Schools in the United States. Most Canadian graduate schools have also accepted the Council's application and admission guidelines. As a member of this group, Cornell may not consider an acceptance (of admission and/or aid) from a student to be binding until after April 15th. (The applicant may withdraw their acceptance of any school's offer by writing that school before April 15th.) Because early acceptance of an offer from a university is not binding on the student, we make most financial aid offers in mid to late March.

Course Requirements    

The first-semester courses presume a thorough knowledge of microeconomics at the level of a rigorous treatment of undergraduate intermediate theory. More economics background is preferred, but an economics major is not required.

Courses called "Mathematics for Economists," "Mathematics for Social Scientists," and "Econometrics" are not a substitute for formal mathematics.

As part of the admissions process, the indicated mathematics and economics courses should be completed prior to the application deadline in January. If courses in mathematics or microeconomics are completed after the application transcript has been sent, the student is strongly advised to send an updated transcript (a copy or unofficial version will do) showing the grades in these courses. Updated admissions material may be sent directly to the Graduate Field Assistant.  Email GFA at [email protected].

A three-week mathematics review course is offered before classes begin. In our experience most entering students can benefit significantly from that course, though it is not required.

Reference Letters

Three letters of recommendation are required. Applicants should ask their references to address not only their academic prospects in their letters, but to also address their prospects as a teacher and research assistant. Academic references should preferably be from professors in one’s major subject and possibly from a mathematics professor in an advanced mathematics class. If others would know more about the applicant’s prospects as a teacher or research assistant, supplementary letters can be provided from professors for whom one has taught, given oral presentations, or done research.

The Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) is required for the Fall 2023 admissions cycle. The Department will accept at-home GRE exams. GRE subject examinations are optional.

To be included in the application, the graduate school must receive all scores prior to the application deadline.

All official test scores should be reported directly to Cornell University.  Please be sure to use the exact spelling of your name on both your application and test score report.

The GRE institutional code is 2098. Department codes are not used for matching scores to applications.

GRE test scores are valid for five years from the test date.

International Applicants

The TOEFL or IELTS examination is required of all applicants from countries where English is not the official native language, unless the applicant meets one of the Graduate School's standing exemptions.

Please click here to consult the  English Language Proficiency Requirement  page . Please note that the field of Economics cannot admit candidates who do not meet the Graduate School's English language requirements. These are minimum required scores; most accepted students have TOEFL IBT scores over 25 in all four categories. If your English-language degree will not be awarded by the time of enrollment, you must take the TOEFL and/or IELTS. Do not request exceptions. None will be granted.

Non-native English speakers are strongly advised to get supplemental letters of reference from native English speakers if at all possible.

These letters should address your likely "presentational skills" in English (e.g., potential for success as a teaching assistant or presenter of a scholarly paper). The writer need not be one of your professors; in practice these letters often come from visiting American academics, sometimes visiting departments other than Economics at your school for a seminar or a semester whom you have asked to have a conversation with you for the purposes of such a letter. Further, many Universities have English language departments with American (or British) faculty members.

Financial Aid

Financial aid is not "need-based." All applicants are considered for financial aid awards based on academic merit and potential success as a teaching or research assistant.

Financial aid packages for incoming students are typically guaranteed, given satisfactory performance, through the Spring semester of the sixth year of study (if six years are actually needed to complete the degree). Most of the aid packages are in the form of fellowships/assistantship combinations (approximately 15 per year). The normal package includes one fellowship year, which must be used during the first year of study and one which can be used to allow focused research toward the dissertation, typically taken in the fifth year of study. The first-year fellowship enables the student to focus on the core program. Subsequent financial aid normally takes the form of graduate research assistantships and teaching assistantships. Graduate fellowships and research and teaching assistantships cover full academic year tuition as well as a stipend and medical insurance.

Research assistantships may be available from individual faculty members. These are awarded to qualified graduate students whose research interests are clearly similar to those of the faculty member with the research funding, and generally to students with strong academic performance and/or special skills (e.g., programming).

Admissions and fellowship decisions for many students are contingent upon the acceptances or rejections of those who have the initial offers. Applicants are advised to make certain we know how they can be reached quickly (by e-mail, or if necessary fax or telephone) between April 1 and April 15.

Teaching Assistantships (TA)

One of the primary concerns at Cornell is teaching excellence. This is desirable in its own right, and it is valuable for the student to be able to establish excellence in teaching for the job market. We have a variety of programs available to assist students in becoming good teachers. Some of these programs are required, others are voluntary supplements.

All students who will be serving as teaching assistants for at least the first time are required to arrive at Cornell for training about ten days before the semester starts. All teaching assistants are required to arrive five days in advance of classes and to remain on campus until all course grades are completed. Students from countries where English is not the official language are required to take an oral assessment prior to being employed as a TA. This assessment is administered by the Cornell University Center for Teaching Excellence.  Click here to visit the Cornell University Center for Teaching Excellence website . Depending upon the results of this assessment, international students may have additional training requirements designed for non-native English speakers.

Non-Degree Visiting Students

Maximum enrollment.

Non-degree students are limited to a maximum enrollment of two semesters and may not enroll in a degree-granting program at Cornell without formally applying and being approved for admission.

Non-degree students enrolled during a regular semester are required to pay tuition.  There is no tuition charge for the summer.

Health Insurance

Like degree-seeking students, non-degree graduate students are automatically enrolled in Cornell’s Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP). If a student has coverage through another health insurance plan that is comparable to the SHIP, s/he may file a written appeal with the Office of Student Health Insurance. International students are required to purchase SHIP.  For more information visit the student insurance website here .

Admissions Requirements

• Education Credentials--All students enrolled in the Graduate School must possess education credentials equivalent to a U.S. bachelor’s degree . At a minimum, international non-degree students must be pursuing graduate-level studies in their home country. On the application form, applicants should describe their postsecondary education history and provide applicable transcripts and diplomas.
• English Proficiency--International applicants must demonstrate English proficiency even if they will not be taking classes or supervising students. Unlike degree-seeking applicants, non-degree applicants may submit old scores or copies of a paper score report.  Click here to review Cornell’s English proficiency requirements .

Financial Resources

International students must provide evidence of adequate financial resources. These resources should be sufficient to cover the costs of attendance, including living expenses, for the duration of their stay at Cornell.

Classes begin on Thursday, August 26. ( To view the Cornell Academic Calendar 2023-2024, click here. )

Progress to the Degree

Our Ph.D. program is designed so that the degree can be awarded after five years of diligent study.

This page is a summary of the requirements for making satisfactory progress toward the Ph.D. in Economics. Any variations or exceptions for an individual student must be approved in writing by the Executive Committee of the Field of Economics and by the student's special committee (or the Director of Graduate Studies, for first and second year students without full special committees).

Students are expected to qualify before the beginning of their second year in four areas:

• Econometrics 
• Macroeconomics 
• Mathematics for Economists 
• Microeconomic Theory

Qualifying in Econometrics, Macroeconomics and Microeconomic Theory requires passing qualifying examinations in these areas during May/June of the first year (or, if necessary, passing a re-take in July/August of the first year). To prepare for these examinations students should take the following courses in their first year:

• Econometrics I and II (Econ 6190 and 6200)
• Macroeconomics I and II (Econ 6130 and 6140)
• Microeconomic Theory I, II, and III (Econ 6090, 6100, 6110)

To qualify in Mathematics for Economists, students must achieve a grade of at least B- in Intermediate Mathematical Economics I (Econ 6170).

The first-year economics Ph.D. courses (Econ 6090, 6100, 6110, 6130, 6140, 6170, 6190, and 6200) are intended for doctoral students in economics and related disciplines. First-year economics Ph.D. students are automatically enrolled in these courses. The permission of the instructor is required for all other students.

Second Year

Workshops Participation in at least one workshop per semester in the second year is required. After the second year, students must be registered in at least one workshop program each semester. With the approval of the special committee, a student may substitute regular participation in a workshop other than the ones listed below.  View Workshop schedules  here. The list of workshops currently offered is:

• Applied Economics 
• Applied Microeconomics 
• Behavioral Workshop 
• Development Economics 
• Institute for Health Economics
• International Economics
• Labor Economics 
• Macro/Monetary Economics 
• Microeconomic Theory 
• Policy Analysis and Management 
• Public Economics

Research Project Students are required to write a complete, independent research paper in the second year, which is due in August of the summer of the second year. They are expected to present this work in the Fall semester of the third year in the Third-year Research Seminar (Econ 7850). Attendance at this workshop and presentation of the second-year paper is required for all third-year students.

Special Committee Students are assigned a special committee chair upon initial enrollment. Usually, this is the Director of Graduate Studies. This assignment is temporary. A permanent chair must be selected prior to registering for the third year (fifth semester) of study. Prior to registering for the sixth semester (January of the third year), students must form a permanent special committee to advise them on courses and research. The committee consists of a chair and at least two other members. The chair represents the student's major concentration of research and the other members represent minor concentrations.

Click here to view Major and Minor Concentrations Students must also qualify in one major and at least two minor concentrations. This is typically done in the second and third years. The requirements for qualifying in concentrations are determined by the committee member representing each concentration. A student's major concentration must come from the field of economics. Minor concentrations may be in the field of economics or may come from other Cornell graduate fields. 

The A Exam Students are expected to pass an admission to candidacy examination, called the A Exam, administered by the student's special committee during the third year of graduate study. This examination must be passed by the end of the third week of the fourth year. Failure to complete the A Exam in a timely fashion may result in the suspension of all financial aid or termination from the Ph.D. program.

The Fourth Year and Beyond

The Dissertation and the B Exam Students are expected to begin work on the doctoral dissertation in the third year of study and to finish the dissertation by the end of the fifth year of study. The program is designed so that the Ph.D. can be awarded in five years and students should plan to finish in five years. Completing the Ph.D. requires passing an oral examination, the B Exam, administered by the student's special committee, followed by filing with the Graduate School a completed doctoral dissertation approved by the committee.

Guide to Concentrations in the Field of Economics

The concentrations in Economics are listed below in alphabetical order. After each concentration, there is a list of courses that students often take for that concentration. There is one extremely important caveat: the exact courses required to meet a particular concentration are determined by a student’s special committee and not by the field or DGS. Any member of the special committee may require additional or different courses as a condition of representing a particular concentration on a committee. This is why you cannot pick concentration courses independently from the selection of a special committee. That said, taking courses in your intended concentrations is one time-tested way of selecting special committee members. New concentrations under consideration by the field are listed next. Finally there is an incomplete list of concentrations in other fields that have been historically part of some Economics committees as minor concentrations.

The Graduate School’s official list of faculty and concentrations in Economics  is here. This should correspond to the choices offered online in the Student Center. Faculty or students who find discrepancies should notify the DGS and GFA in Economics.

• To contact the DGS, click here
• To contact the GFA, click here

The chair of a special committee in Economics must be a member of the graduate faculty in the Field of Economics and must represent a concentration from the official graduate school list for Economics. Be careful when selecting a special committee chair in the online Student Center to choose the field of Economics and a concentration from the Economics list. Many faculty members belong to multiple fields. A member of the graduate faculty who belongs to fields in addition to Economics may represent another field and a concentration from that field on an Economics committee as long as that person is not the special committee chair. Always consult with the potential committee member in advance of selecting such an option.

The field-maintained list of members  is here. Research interests shown on this page do not correspond exactly to the official graduate school concentrations. They are intended to guide students to faculty members with appropriate research specializations.

Official Economics Concentrations

Applied economics.

This is a catch-all concentration generally used when there are two members of a committee representing the same concentration (not allowed by the Graduate School on three-person committees) so that both can be officially recorded on the committee. The other uses of this concentration include specializations that have formal course sequences but are not designated as official concentrations (e.g., behavioral economics and the economics of education) and concentrations outside of economics where the committee member still wants to be shown in the field of economics (e.g., a member of the field of economics who is also a member of the field of management may represent “Applied Economics” on the committee or a concentration in management, according to the wishes of the student and the committee). A committee member representing “Applied Economics” could require any of the courses listed under any concentration or other courses not listed here.

PhD Program in Applied Economics and Management

Phd program requirements.

Please note: The following are general requirements for the Applied Economics and Management PhD program. Each student should check with their Special Committee for additional course requirements, and students should also check with the Dyson School’s Director of Graduate Studies (DGS) and the Graduate Field Assistant for additional requirements of the Graduate School and the Applied Economics and Management (AEM) Graduate Field.

Special Committee : The Graduate School requires that Applied Economics and Management PhD students must select the chair of their Special Committee by the end of the third week of their first semester. By the end of the 3 rd semester, you must have your three-member committee consisting of your chair and two minor members. The chair needs to be a member of the graduate field of Applied Economics and Management . A student can ask for an extension if more time is needed (please see the AEM PhD handbook for details).

Registration units : To earn a Cornell PhD, a student must be registered for a minimum of six full-time academic semesters (which requires a minimum of 12 credit hours per semester). The AEM PhD degree completion usually takes 10 semesters of study, and students are expected to finish all their required courses by the end of their fourth semester. Students must also maintain a meaningful engagement with the Cornell academic community (attendance and active participation in various workshops and seminars on campus, for example).

Required courses:

Area Required Courses:

• Food and Agriculture Economics (FAE) 1. AEM 6515 Food and Agricultural Economics I 2. AEM 7515 Food and Agriculture Economics II
• Environmental, Energy, and Resource Economics (EERE) 1. AEM 7500 Resource Economics 2. AEM 7510 Environmental Economics
• International and Development Economics (IDE) 1. AEM 7620 Microeconomics of International Development 2. AEM 7621 Microeconomics of International Development II
• Students would follow the requirements of their specific sub-concentration in conjunction with our agreement with the field of management.

In addition to the courses required by each student’s area of concentration, all first-year PhD students are required to take the following courses:

• ECON 6090 Microeconomics Theory
• ECON 6170 Intermediate Mathematical Economics I
• ECON 6190 Econometrics I
• ECON 6130 Macroeconomics I
• AEM 7020 Applied Microeconomics I: Game Theory
• AEM 7021 Applied Microeconomics II: General Equilibrium
• AEM 7100 Econometrics I
• AEM 7010 Research Skills

Complete all core classes (AEM 7020, AEM 7021, AEM 7100) with a grade of A- or better, or pass an equivalent qualifying examination. Those who do not obtain an A- or better in one or more of the courses in this sequence can qualify by taking a Q Exam designed to test only those failed courses in June of their first year. This exam will be considered a second attempt and no further exams will be offered. The Q-exam is based on material covered in  AEM 7100, AEM 7020 and AEM 7021. Note: The AEM Graduate Field requires students to receive a minimum grade of B- in each course (required or elective) to be in good academic standing. For continued financial aid, however, the AEM Graduate Field requires that students receive at most one B- per semester.

Mentored research paper (AEM 7150): The paper should address an applied economics issue and should be of quality to eventually be publishable in a top field journal. Work should begin in the summer following the first year of the qualifying exam. A passing grade is required on the research paper in the summer following the second year of the PhD program.

Admission to the candidacy exam (also called the “A” exam) is taken at the completion of the required coursework, although this does not preclude taking courses after the “A” exam.

Final oral dissertation examination (also called the “B” exam). Please note: The Graduate School requires two full-time semesters of course study between the “A” exam and the “B” exam.

Submission of PhD dissertation.

Dyson School/Applied Economics and Policy (AEP) seminars

While not a requirement,  all PhD students are encouraged to attend weekly Applied Economics & Policy Seminars as well as seminars organized by different fields (such as Development Economics, and Sustainable Environmental, Energy and Resource Economics). The schedule for the AEP seminars can be found here .

Please Note

• Students on a teaching or research assistantship should expect three credit hours of time will need to be allocated to the teaching or research assistantship each semester.
• Courses necessary for each major and minor are determined by the student’s Special Committee. Some concentrations (e.g., Finance) require written qualifying examinations.

Three exams are required by the field as benchmarks toward meeting requirements of the Philosophy of Doctor program.

PhD Qualifying Examination ("Q" Exam)

This exam is based on materials that were covered in AEM 7010, AEM 7020, AEM 7021, and AEM 7100. Students will have 2 attempts to pass all four components of the “Q” Exam. This will be a written test where you are expected to answer the question(s) of the professor’s choosing for each component. The professors of these courses will be blindly grading the test (meaning they will not know who’s test they are grading). You will have approximately 2 hours to complete each component of the test.

The test will be administered to all first year PhD students over 2 days at the beginning of June with the make-up test (if needed) administered at the end of July. Students are provided past tests to practice. Results will be provided towards the end of June.

If you are not successful in passing all four components in the first attempt, you need to retake only the component(s) that you failed. Faculty can decide whether to release details about specific answers regarding what or why you received the grade that you received on a component.

In the event you fail both attempts of the “Q” exam you can choose to submit an appeal to the Dyson Graduate Studies Committee to request a reconsideration of the results. If the committee declines your petition you will be removed from the PhD program.

Examination for Admission to Candidacy ("A" Exam)

A student is admitted to doctoral candidacy after passing a comprehensive examination administered by the student’s special committee. This examination is either oral, or written and oral, as determined by the special committee. The passing of this examination certifies that the student is eligible to present a dissertation to the graduate field.

The “A” exam is taken before the beginning of the student’s 7th semester (end of their 3rd year). After completing the exam, the results must be filed with the Graduate School within three business days of the completed exam. Four outcomes are possible:

• Passing . If you pass an exam, all members of the examining committee should report this decision to the Graduate School within three business days. No further action is required.
• Conditional Passing . You may conditionally pass an exam, in which case the examining committee provides you and the Graduate School with the conditions for passing. Once these conditions are met, you pass the exam.
• Failing . If you fail an exam, a reexamination is allowed only with the approval of the special committee. At least three months must pass from the time of the failed exam to the reexamination.
• Unanimously Failing . If you’re unanimously failed, you must petition the General Committee to continue study. If the minor members, but not the chair, oppose allowing a reexamination; or the chair, but not all the minor members oppose a reexamination, you must petition the General Committee to continue study. Graduate faculty members who attend the exam, but are not on the examination committee, may inform the dean in writing if they disagree with the results of the exam.

Final Examination for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree ("B" Exam)

A doctoral candidate takes the Final Examination upon completion of all requirements for the degree but no earlier than one month before completion of the minimum registration requirement. This oral exam covers the general subject of the student’s dissertation. The passing of this examination certifies that the student is eligible to graduate.

A minimum of 2 semesters must be completed between passing the “A” exam and scheduling the “B” exam.

After completing the exam, the results must be filed with the Graduate School within three business days of the completed exam. Four outcomes are possible:

Outcomes: Careers After Cornell

Where a&s grads are headed.

For the past five years, a majority of graduates have entered or been seeking to enter the workforce upon graduation, while about 1/3 enter or prepare to apply for graduate school. Most Cornellians applying to law school apply a few years after college, usually within one to three years of graduation. The majority of Cornellians applying to medical school take 1-2 gap years after graduation, meaning that they apply as a senior or one year after graduation.  This is increasingly common with other graduate and professional programs as well.

Graduates of A&S find success at organizations across the world in a diverse array of career fields: from technology, law, and finance to communications, government, and nonprofits. Similarly, A&S graduates pursue a bright diversity of graduate degrees after finishing their undergrad degrees here. A&S graduates find success in fields like computer science, medicine, mathematics, social sciences, fine arts, business management, law, engineering, and more at schools like Columbia, Georgetown, Brown, MIT, NYU, Northwestern, Oxford, Penn, UCLA, Tufts, and Cornell.
