Overview

The department of Economics at The University of New Mexico also participates in a number of interdisciplinary graduate programs, such as Latin American Studies and Water Resources Program. Our department gives students the opportunity to focus on different goals within each degree path. The faculty work diligently with each student to prepare them for careers in academia, research, business and government.
The growing involvement of government in regulating economic affairs in such diverse areas as utility rate regulation, environmental standards, occupational health and safety regulation, medical and other services for the elderly, and assistance to low-income households has created a considerable and growing demand for people with administrative capabilities combined with an understanding of economic incentives, economic systems, and the role of the public sector.
Students with Master's and Ph.D.'s in Economics are particularly suited to meeting these employment needs of federal, state and local governments. Our department offers a challenging program with the opportunity to work with the faculty more closely and effectively. We hope that your interest in our program will lead you in the right direction to a successful career in graduate school at UNM.
