"I fully enjoyed my PhD years at UF Economics . I had the opportunity to learn from and work with excellent professors, who I felt were dedicated to my success and always available to mentor and guide me. I enjoyed the opportunity to teach undergraduate students as part of the program. The program and the faculty also helped connect me to RA positions, such as the one at the Institute of Child Health Policy, which led to my ultimately choosing to become a health economist. This program prepared me to become a successful economist."

Kritee Gujral,
U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs

"The MA program was a great opportunity to learn how to apply the theories and skills learned in the undergraduate program. With the emphasis on data analysis and econometric research the program definitely positions you for a career in consulting, data analysis, or professional services. I would highly recommend it."

Jacob Ashby, Deloitte

"I wanted to learn more Economics near the end of my undergrad career, but did not want to commit to a PhD. The MA program is a happy medium for those like me who also want to learn more economics but are ambivalent about getting a PhD. The program was the best kind of challenge and I would make the decision to it again, everyday of the week."

Val Raymond, American Express
