Shreya Reshamwala
Major in Computer Science and Engineering and Mathematics
Minor in German Studies
For a long time, I’ve always been passionate about languages—they are a gateway into other cultures, values, and insights that enrich my own understanding of the world.
Cecilia Perez Gago
Major in Aerospace Engineering
Minor in French
French has opened my life to a whole new set of connections and friendships – it has allowed me to communicate with new people and to enjoy new sources of entertainment.
Waly Ndiaye
Major in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
Minor in Comparative Media Studies/Writing
Taking CMS classes was always enjoyable because of how hands-on and fun the courses were. None of the CMS classes I’ve taken have made me feel constrained when it comes to doing assignments and picking topics.
Katherine Miner
Major in Mathematics
Minor in Computer Science and Political Science
I most enjoyed how political science is so applicable to the real world. I had the opportunity to learn about many facets of society- from areas such as elections and political misinformation all the way to the criminal justice system.

Frequently asked questions
Economics
Our top-ranked PhD program sets the standard for graduate economics training across the country. Graduate students work closely with our world-class faculty to develop their own research and prepare to make impactful contributions to the field.
Our doctoral program enrolls 20-24 full-time students each year and students complete their degree in five to six years. Students undertake core coursework in microeconomic theory, macroeconomics, and econometrics, and are expected to complete two major and two minor fields in economics. Beyond the classroom, doctoral students work in close collaboration with faculty to develop their research capabilities, gaining hands-on experience in both theoretical and empirical projects.
