Course Overview
The department's disciplinary strengths are augmented by top-ranked programs in economics, environmental studies, life sciences, finance, statistics, math, and public policy. The most recent Times Higher Education survey ranked UW-Madison 12th in the world in social sciences, ahead of Berkeley, Cornell, Minnesota and other peers. The faculty, distinguished by its record of service, research and outreach, excels in obtaining research support from government, foundations, and international agencies. Much of this support goes toward collaborative research with graduate students. Students in the department typically have the opportunity to obtain practical research experience and to publish the results through their participation in faculty-led research projects. Historically, graduate students in AAE arrive and depart with exceptional qualifications. Our incoming students average 162 on the quantitative GRE. PhD students take 5-8 courses taught by nationally prominent faculty in the Department of Economics. Since 2000, the median time to degree for AAE PhD students was 5 years, in line with national averages. Over the same ten years, 70% of our PhD graduates went on to academic employment, 15% to government service and another 15% to non-governmental organizations and private research institutes.
