Applied Economics (Ph.D., M.A., M.S., minor)

Description

For the 2026-2027 academic year, the Applied Economics Graduate Program is accepting applications for the Ph.D. program. Current Oregon State University undergraduate students may apply for the Accelerated Master's Platform (AMP). The Applied Economics Graduate Program is no longer admitting new students to the M.A. or M.S. degree programs.

Oregon State University's Applied Economics Graduate Program offers M.S., M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Applied Economics. The curricula provide, at both master’s and doctoral levels: (i) a foundation of rigorous core courses in economic theory, econometrics, and other quantitative methods; and (ii) areas of concentration in resource and environmental economics, trade and development, and other open fields tailored to students interest. Students employ economic theory and methods to examine important real-world problems with significant attention to the relevant institutions, contexts, and data.

The program is designed and staffed by OSU’s distinguished graduate faculty of Applied Economics, drawn from the Departments of Applied Economics; Forest Ecosystems and Society; Forest Engineering, Resources, and Management; the School of Social and Behavioral Health Sciences; and the Economics Program in the School of Public Policy.
