Graduate Programs

["RICHARD P.F. HOLT" <holtri@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is something Randy Wray sent me last year about the graduate program
at the University of Denver. If other people would like to send me  or
over the network a statement about their graduate program I will be more
than happy to form a directory where we can store them. I think Randy did
an excellent job here. So it might be a model to follow. Also I recommend
that if you do have a heterodox graduate program and are looking for good
graduate students that you send Paul Conroy at Dalhousie Univ. some information
about your program. His e-mail address: conroy@xxxxxxxxx

MASTERS DEGREE PROGRAM IN ECONOMICS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF DENVER

          Political Economy and Social Theory
          Keynesian and Post-Keynesian Economics
          Marxian and Ricardian Economics
          History of Economic Analysis
          Macroeconomic and Microeconomic Theory and Policy

     The Department of Economics at the University of Denver has introduced
an innovative program in economics for students interested in investigating
alternatives to the traditional methods and concepts used in economics and
social science.  The program offered by the Department focuses students'
attention on the logical structure and the foundations of economic theory.
Particular attention is paid to the Classical, Neoclassical, Keynesian,
Post Keynesian, and Marxian traditions in economic theory.  The program
provides a solid foundation for students to move on to doctoral studies in
economics and related fields.  In addition, the program enables students
interested in pursuing a terminal Masters degree in economics the
opportunity to develop analytical and empirical skills that will enable them
to work as economists in industry and government.  Students are prepared to
place current theoretical and policy controversies in economics within the
larger perspective of the theoretical traditions that spawned them.
Further, the program allows students to explore the links between economics
and other social sciences such as political science and sociology.

    The Masters Degree program in Economics at the University of Denver
is adaptable to the needs of individual students.  The program consists
of small classes and seminars.  In addition, students are encouraged to
develop close working relationships with faculty as they pursue research
projects under faculty supervision.

     The Department encourages students with undergraduate degrees in
economics to apply to the program, and financial aid is available for
qualified applicants.  In addition, we encourage students with limited
economics background to apply, since the nature of the program allows these
students to develop their understanding of economic theory and methodology
relatively quickly.  Students are admitted throughout the year.
