Fields of Specialized Study: Students are required to take a field in applied econometrics as well as select a second field that may be in economics or in a complementary field if approved by the economics Program Director. Potential outside fields include Finance, Mathematics, Statistics, Agricultural Economics, Public Policy and Environmental Science.

The second year statistics requirements above cannot count towards a field in statistics. Electives: Two economics course electives are required after completing the first-year core requirements.

Doctoral candidates must have a cumulative grade-point average of 3.25 on all graduate course work.

Dissertation requirements include (1) a defense of proposal, and (2) presentation of an acceptable doctoral dissertation. Candidacy Examinations for the Doctor of Philosophy: Students must pass written candidacy examinations in microeconomics and macroeconomics. These exams will be given after the student completes the required core courses. The macroeconomics exam will typically be given after the spring semester, and the microeconomics candidacy exam will typically be given after the fall semester. Students who do not pass the exam will have the option to retake it. Students who fail the exam a second time will normally be dismissed from the program. Field Examination in Applied Econometrics: Students must pass a written field examination in applied econometrics that will normally be given after University of Arkansas, Fayetteville
