Collaborative Program in Economics and the Dynamics of Global Change
This program is joint between the Department of Economics and the Dynamics of Global Change Doctoral Program at the Munk Centre for International Studies. It differs from our regular PhD program in requiring some courses offered by the Dynamics of Global Change program and in the expectation that the student's dissertation supervisor will be a core member of that program. It is offered on a full-time basis only with one admission date, September.To be admitted, an applicant must satisfy the admission requirements for the Economics PhD. Once an applicant has been accepted to the PhD program in Economics, his/her application will be reviewed by the Coordinator of the Collaborative Program. The program of study will be managed by the Economics Department. Any financial support will be awarded by the Economics Department. See the Dynamics of Global Change website for program details and admission requirements and deadlines (which may differ from ours).
