Doctor's degree Economics - Stony Brook University

Doctor's degree Economics from Stony Brook University is a Campus Ph.D Economics degree that prepares you for a Business career. Students are considered to be making "minimum satisfactory progress" if their progress is consistent with the formal requirements listed below. These requirements are intended to ensure analytical competence, breadth of knowledge, and timely completion of the dissertation. Failure to maintain satisfactory progress results automatically in Departmental probationary status, with continuation in the program permitted only at the discretion of the Department's Ph.D. committee. A student must petition the committee for such an exception, giving detailed reasons justifying such an exemption. Maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average, in Economics courses, equivalent to a B average. The mathematical foundations course (590), microeconomics core sequence (500,501), the macroeconomics core sequence (510,511), and the mathematical statistics and econometric core course (520, 521, 522) must be completed as scheduled above with a grade of "c" or above in each. The Applied Econometrics course (522) must be completed with a B or better. Comprehensive exams in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and probability and statistics/econometrics must be taken the week after the end of the Spring semester of the first year of study (dates to be announced before the end of the Fall semester of every year). All exams must be passed then or at the set of exams given before the beginning of the third semester of study. In each of the first three years of the Ph.D. program, students are required to attend at least 10 seminars during the academic year. An acceptable second year research paper must be started by choosing a paper advisor by March 1st of the second year and must be submitted by October 1st of the third year. For more detailed information on this paper, see the description of the second year above. Two fields must be satisfactorily completed by the end of the sixth semester. Each field must be composed of an approved two-course sequence. One field may be completed on the basis of an average grade of B+ or better in two courses in that field. At least one field must be completed by passing a written field exam. A designated 3rd year research workshop, Economics 695, must be completed in the first semester of the third year. A minimum of l5 courses in economics (including core courses and the 3rd year research workshop but not including the teacher training course) must be completed, with a grade of B or better in the applied econometrics course (see above) and in each course that is not one of the core courses designated in the second requirement above or the 3rd year research workshop in which an S is required. However, the Ph.D. committee may approve a waiver of part of the l5-course requirement in the case of students with gradvuate work elsewhere. The designation of a thesis committee of three members must be made by the end of October of the fifth semester. The student must successfully defend a Dissertation Proposal by the end of the sixth semester of study. This Dissertation Proposal defense is a public defense of a dissertation proposal and an examination on the proposal and related material held by the student's dissertation committee. This defense must be announced at least one week in advance with copies of the thesis proposal available for faculty and graduate students at that time. A dissertation, presenting the results of original and significant research, must be approved by the Ph.D. thesis committee, composed of the thesis advisor, two committee members from the department, and a faculty member outside the department. This defense must be announced at least three weeks in advance with copies of the thesis available for faculty and graduate students at least one week before the defense.
