Are there faculty in the department who can advise?

Yes. Students may request a personal faculty advisor to discuss academic or career goals. Faculty advisors will discuss course selection to meet intellectual goals and interests, as well as career or research options. Faculty advisors will not discuss major requirements – that is the role of the graduate student advisors. If you plan on attending a PhD program in economics or pursuing economics research after graduation, then it is recommended that you request a faculty advisor. To request a faculty advisor, go to the Advisors page for instructions.
