There are many superb graduate economic programs. In the midst of this excellence, we believe the Department of Economics at Hopkins has a singular style to offer. The PhD program is and always has been our primary focus. Every member of the faculty is heavily involved in the training of our graduate students. All faculty teach in the graduate program with some doing so exclusively. All faculty are actively involved in thesis supervision and research seminars. While many if not most PhD-granting departments have become quite large with 30 or more faculty members, our department has remained intimate with 15 professors. While this offers both advantages and disadvantages compared to larger departments, it does mean that Hopkins offers a relatively unique environment that, depending on the student, could be appropriate for them.
