Graduate Program Requirements
The Graduate Programs in Economics
The present requirements for the M.A. and Ph.D. in economics at the University of Hawai'i have been adopted by members of the Department of Economics faculty and approved by the University. Generally, rules in effect at the time of a student's entry into the program continue to apply to that student until he or she receives the desired degree. There are exceptions, however, and the graduate chair should be consulted on a timely basis as questions arise. More complete information concerning university-wide requirements applicable to graduate students, including minimum grade point levels, the maximum duration of graduate status, and requirements for graduate degrees appear in the current General and Graduate Information Catalog, available for a fee through the University of Hawai'i Bookstore or on the web at: http://www.catalog.hawaii.edu/.
UHM Economics passed major changes to its graduate program requirements in Spring 2003. The changes, with a few exceptions, apply only to new students entering the M.A. or Ph.D. programs during or after the Fall 2003 semester. Some changes apply to all students.
- The Department has changed the time schedule for its microeconomics and macroeconomics qualifying examinations. Both qualifying examinations will be offered only in May and August.
- Field examinations will no longer be offered, and doctoral students must substitute the new research paper requirement for the field examination.
