Advising

General Advising

All graduate students are strongly encouraged to read and be familiar with the Graduate Student Handbook, and the Graduate Studies website, which contain most rules and regulations pertaining to your degree.

At the begin of each academic year, faculty from the Department of Economics meet with all graduate students in a General Advising Meeting to discuss their progress in the program and possible problems. Also new students are introduced to the current graduate students. You will receive an email invitation to this orientation sometime in August.

Before Meeting with your Adviser

Before you see your adviser, please make a study plan, print the study plan, and bring it to your advising meeting. By the 2nd semester, every student must meet with the graduate coordinator to make a graduate contract.

All economics graduate students are encouraged to seek out advice from any member of the graduate committee.  This includes Dr. Kerr (graduate coordinator), Dr. Lange, Dr. Whu, and Dr. Ngyuen.
