• Ph.D. in Public Affairs

Public finance includes the theory and practice of fiscal administration including public budgeting, revenue administration, and financial management. Public finance takes into account the government, the roles that government plays in the economy, and how those roles affect resource allocations and considers methods for improvement.

Our research examines three main themes:

• How the government raises revenue through taxes and borrowing, and on how the government disburses those funds.
• How the government plans, controls, and accounts for such activities through budgeting and accounting, as well as the design and administration of all of these functions.
• The impact of public sector activities on the economic behavior of individuals, firms, nonprofit organizations, and markets, and on economic efficiency.

Ph.D. Degree

Economics ph.d. requirements.

The University Graduate School requires doctoral students to complete 90 credit hours, roughly half of which are formal coursework. The Ph.D. in Economics also requires 9 credits to fulfill the tool skill requirement, for a total of 99 credits.

Use your Graduate Academic Bulletin

Students pursuing a graduate degree in Economics should use the University Graduate School Academic Bulletin.

Official requirements for our Ph.D. degree can be found by clicking on the Bulletin below:

2022-2023: Economics University Graduate School Academic Bulletin

If you have taken graduate work elsewhere you may, with the approval of the director of graduate studies, transfer all or part of that work and receive credit at Indiana University. Up to 30 hours may be transferred and counted toward the 90 hours required for the Ph.D. Keep in mind that graduate work done elsewhere is not automatically transferable.

You are required to take one semester of optimization theory, two semesters of microeconomic theory, two semesters of macroeconomic theory, three semesters of econometrics, one research skill, and courses in three fields, one primary and two supporting.

The first year of study includes the required classes in optimization theory (a 1-semester course) and 2-semester courses in microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics.

You are expected to complete your coursework and meet field requirements in 2-3 years of study. The remaining credit hours are earned through the dissertation work, which must be defended in an oral examination.

At the end of the first year, you are required to take two core exams, one in microeconomics and one in macroeconomics. You are allowed one retake for each of these exams. The retakes are held in late July or early August. Students who successfully pass the core exams are qualified to continue graduate study toward the doctoral degree.

Your coursework includes 18 credits of field requirements, with work in at least three fields of economics.

All first year Ph.D. students must take Teaching Undergraduate Economics (ECON-E 502), prior to a TA or AI assignment (3 credits).

Throughout your studies, you must maintain a 3.0 (B) grade point average. You are expected to complete your coursework and meet field requirements in 2-3 years of study.

In addition to formal coursework, you are required to participate in a workshop. Current workshops are on Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, and Econometrics. After passing your core theory exams, you join a workshop of your choice, remaining associated with it for as long as you are in residence. In your third year, you must formally enroll in a workshop course for 3 semesters, earning 9 credits. Our department encourages graduate students to present papers at workshops and at scholarly meetings, and to publish their research.

In the third year of study, our Ph.D. students are required to write a substantial research paper under the guidance of a preliminary advisory committee. The paper is expected to be of sufficient quality to be a basis of a dissertation chapter. The overall goal of the third-year paper requirement is to facilitate your transition from coursework to dissertation research.

The remaining credit hours are earned through the dissertation work, which must be defended in an oral examination. The Ph.D. requires around 30 credits in research hours (ECON-E809), determined in consultation with your advisor and the director of graduate studies.

You fulfill these with 9 additional credits, for a total of 99 credits for the Ph.D. Courses used to fulfill a tool skill requirement do not carry graduate credit.

Proficiency must be demonstrated in one tool skill, choosing among Econometrics/Applied Statistics, Mathematics, Operations and Decision Technologies, or Computer Science.

You will be nominated to Ph.D. candidacy after fulfilling all the course work and field requirements for the degree. These include:

• 60 credits of graduate course work
• 57 credits in Economics, including three semesters (9 credits) of workshop courses,
• 9 credits to fulfill the tool skill requirement
• Successful completion of qualifying examinations in primary field(s) and successful completion of the supporting field(s)
• Passing the third-year paper requirement

The effective starting date of candidacy will be the date of passing the last primary field exam or the date of passing the third-year paper requirement, whichever is later. A course will not count toward degree requirements if it has been taken more than seven years prior to the date of candidacy. Nomination to candidacy signifies that you have completed all the requirements for the Ph.D. except the dissertation. A completed dissertation must be delivered to the Graduate School within seven years of the date of candidacy.

The department encourages the completion of all requirements for the Ph.D. within five years. The exact amount of time depends, of course, on the student, the topic selected for the dissertation, the amount of data collection involved, and the many problems one can encounter while conducting original research.

Philosophy Ph.D.

Philosophy ph.d. degree.

The Ph.D. program in Philosophy at Indiana University Bloomington provides graduate students with a rich variety of contexts in which to explore their philosophical interests and to develop the skills and expertise they need to pursue a career of research and teaching. In seminars, colloquia, workshops, conferences, informal talks on work-in-progress, reading groups, and informal discussions, our graduate students study and discuss philosophy with each other, with faculty, and with a broad array of first-rate scholars from other universities.

Steps for completing a Ph.D. in Philosophy

The proseminar is taken in the first fall semester of enrollment in the program. The proseminar is a variable topics course which requires writing a paper each week for the first 10 to 12 weeks of the term and presenting to the seminar.

These requirements are intended to ensure that the successful Ph.D. candidate has a well-rounded and broad understanding of philosophy. They are to be satisfied by the end of the third year.

These requirements are intended to ensure that the successful Ph.D. candidate has a deeper understanding of at least one branch of philosophy. They are to be satisfied by the end of the third year.

The areas include:

• Metaphysics and Epistemology
• History of Philosophy
• Value Theory

Each student in philosophy is required to have a minor (typically four courses) in another department or program. All coursework listed above, including the minor, 15-16 courses altogether, should normally be completed within the first six semesters of fulltime enrollment.

You must receive a grade of B or better in any course that receives credit toward the 90 credit hours required for the Ph.D.

There is no general foreign language requirement for the Ph.D. However, your Qualifying Committee or Dissertation Committee may require the student to achieve proficiency in a foreign language relevant to the student's research and may set the level of proficiency to be attained and the means of establishing that the required level has been attained. You should consult with the director of graduate studies (DGS) about whether you will need competence in a foreign language, and this consultation should begin in the student's first year, to allow adequate time for the student to develop competence.

The qualifying examination consists of an essay with an oral exam on a topic which the student plans to pursue further in the dissertation. The qualifying exam tests whether the student is ready to write a dissertation on the chosen topic. The qualifying exam is taken in conjunction with P804, the dissertation prospectus course, which must be taken by the sixth semester of fulltime enrollment. Passing the qualifying examination is necessary and sufficient for passing P804.

A one- or two-page plan of the proposed dissertation. This is to be submitted to the Graduate School after it has been approved by the dissertation committee. The prospectus should be completed by the end of the sixth semester of fulltime enrollment.

The university's final examination, based on the student's completed dissertation.

Also recognized will be Hilyard James Duty, who this year was posthumously awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree, making him UND’s first student-and-graduate of color. Duty, who passed away in 1919, spent five years at UND as a student in the late 1800s.

During the 9 a.m. graduate degree ceremony, two UND professors will be recognized with UND’s highest academic honor — the Chester Fritz Distinguished Professorship. Those professors are Naima Kaabouch, professor of electrical engineering and computer science, and Chih Ming Tan, professor of economics and finance.

The School of Law and School of Medicine & Health Sciences will hold Commencement ceremonies at Chester Fritz Auditorium on Saturday, May 4, at 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., respectively. Sixty-five students are eligible to graduate from the School of Law, and 65 medical students are eligible at the School of Medicine & Health Sciences.

About Hilyard James Duty

Hilyard James Duty was born in 1875 in Cook County, Ill., to Sarah and James Duty.

He and his family moved to St. Paul, Minn. when he was a young child.  In 1885, his family was located in Fargo, N.D. In 1890, Hilyard enrolled at Hamline University in St. Paul, Minn., where he attended school for three years.

Then in 1894, Hilyard matriculated as a student at the University of North Dakota, where he took classes until 1900. During his time at UND, Hilyard was a member of the University band, the football team and the track team. During an intercollegiate field day at Wahpeton, N.D., in the spring of 1897, Hilyard place first in the one-mile run with a time of 5 minutes and 3 seconds.

In addition, during his time at UND, Hilyard advanced from private to corporal to sergeant in the University’s military battalion. He left UND after five years of schooling with no awarded degree. Following their extensive research, UND staff members Stacey Borboa-Peterson and Shelby King set out to rectify this historical injustice. In February 2024, President Andrew Armacost, Provost Eric Link and Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences Brad Rundquist retroactively awarded Hilyard James Duty a Bachelor of Arts degree, making him UND’s first student and graduate of color.

Hilyard went on to marry Jessie Adams of Fargo, N.D., and worked for the Northern Pacific Railroad. He passed away in July 1919.

Graduate student strike ends at Indiana University

F riday marks the end to a three-day strike held by Indiana University graduate students. The students are pushing for union recognition and better wages.

"Grades don't get entered, papers aren't read, quizzes won't be graded if grad students aren't there," Bryce Greene said. "Students won't get assistance, there's a personal touch that comes with that education that grad students are an essential part of."

Since Wednesday, the students have had picket signs instead of books in their hands and skipped classes.

"Despite how wonderful the department is, there's structural problems within the university that make education inaccessible," graduate student Matthew Rodriguez said.

The Indiana Graduate Workers Coalition says they've spent years fighting for better wages. But it wasn't until a strike in 2022 when the university raised wages by 50%.

A university spokesperson told 13News the minimum stipend for grad students will be $23,000 next school year. Along with the stipend, the university offers free tuition and health insurance to graduate students.

IGWC members want the stipend to be raised by $5,000 to $28,000.

"Even under the current stipend we currently make, they are almost half of what the living wage is in Monroe County," IGWC spokesperson David Garner said.

Just one day before the strike started, IU faculty voted no confidence in President Pamela Whitten and two administrators. IGWC leaders say the vote was the start of the change they are wanting.

In response to the no-confidence vote, Whitten wrote:

"While we will not always agree, our community is made stronger by an array of viewpoints and voices—including those expressed as part of this process.

We serve at a time when trust in higher education is at record lows, and expectations for our role as an economic and cultural driver are at record highs. Our self-concept of purpose and value often differs wildly from how we are viewed by lawmakers, civic leaders, industry and much of the general public. Such differences are not tenable forever.

There is no going back to an earlier time. Demographic changes, resulting financial realities, and political developments are only accelerating. To combat the challenges that mark this new environment, I welcome thoughtful ideas and consideration."

IGWC said they hope the faculty who voted no confidence will stand with them in their fight.

After this strike, IGWC told 13News they are working with other university organizations to create a statewide movement. Another student organization, the Indiana Daily Student newspaper, will stage a walkout Thursday, April 25 in response to budget cuts.

The students at Columbia University who inspired pro-Palestinian demonstrations across the country dug in at their encampment for the 10th day Friday as administrators and police at campuses from California to Massachusetts wrestled with how to address protests that have seen scuffles with police and hundreds of arrests.

Officials at Columbia and some other schools have been negotiating with student protesters who have rebuffed police and doubled down. Other schools have quickly turned to law enforcement to douse demonstrations before they can take hold.

As the death toll mounts in the war in Gaza and the humanitarian crisis worsens, protesters at universities across the country are demanding schools cut financial ties to Israel and divest from companies they say are enabling the conflict. Some Jewish students say the protests have veered into antisemitism and made them afraid to set foot on campus, partly prompting the calls for police intervention.

After a tent encampment popped up Thursday at Indiana University Bloomington, police with shields and batons shoved into protesters and arrested 33. Hours later at the University of Connecticut, police tore down tents and arrested one person.

And at Ohio State University, police clashed with protesters just hours after they gathered Thursday evening. Those who refused to leave after warnings were arrested and charged with criminal trespass, said university spokesperson Benjamin Johnson, citing rules barring overnight events.

The clock is ticking as May commencement ceremonies near, putting added pressure on schools to clear demonstrations. At Columbia, protesters defiantly erected a tent encampment where many are set to graduate in front of families in just a few weeks.

Columbia officials said that negotiations were showing progress as they neared the school’s deadline of early Friday to reach an agreement on dismantling the encampment. Nevertheless, two police buses were parked nearby and there was a noticeable presence of private security and police at entrances to the campus.

“We have our demands; they have theirs,” said Ben Chang, a spokesperson for Columbia University, adding that if the talks fail the university will have to consider other options.

Just past midnight, a group of some three dozen pro-Palestinian protesters handed out signs and started chanting outside of the locked Columbia University gates. They then marched away as at least 40 police officers assembled nearby.

California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt, has been negotiating with students who have been barricaded inside a campus building since Monday, rebuffing an attempt by the police to clear them out. Faculty members met with protesters Thursday to try to negotiate a solution as the campus remains shut down at least through the weekend.

A dean at the school, Jeff Crane, suggested during the meeting that the university form a committee that would include students to do a deep dive into the school’s investments. Crane also suggested faculty and students continue meeting every 24 hours to keep an open line of communication. The sides have yet to announce an agreement.

The school’s senate of faculty and staff demanded the university’s president resign in a vote of no confidence Thursday, citing the decision to call police in to remove the barricaded students Monday.

On the other end of the state, the University of Southern California canceled of the school’s May 10 graduation ceremony. The announcement was made a day after more than 90 protesters were arrested on campus. The university said it will still host dozens of commencement events, including all the traditional individual school commencement ceremonies.

Tensions were already high after USC canceled a planned commencement speech by the school’s pro-Palestinian valedictorian, citing safety concerns.

At the City College of New York on Thursday, hundreds of students who were gathered on the lawn beneath the Harlem campus’ famed gothic buildings erupted in cheers after a small contingent of police officers retreated from the scene. In one corner of the quad, a “security training” was held among students.

Elsewhere in the city, around a dozen protesters spent the night in tents and sleeping bags inside a building at the Fashion Institute of Technology. The institute’s museum, which is located in the building where the demonstrators set up camp, was closed Friday.

Protesters also stayed overnight at the encampment at George Washington University, according to local news stations. In a statement after the Thursday evening deadline to disperse, the university in Washington said the encampment violated university policies and that the administration and police were figuring out how to address the situation.

At Emerson College in Boston, 108 people were arrested at an encampment by early Thursday. Video shows police first warning students in an alleyway to leave. Students linked arms to resist officers, who moved forcefully through the crowd and threw some protesters to the ground.

“As the night progressed, it got tenser and tenser. There were just more cops on all sides. It felt like we were being slowly pushed in and crushed,” said Ocean Muir, a sophomore.

Muir said police lifted her by her arms and legs and carried her away. Along with other students, Muir was charged Thursday with trespassing and disorderly conduct.

Boston police said four officers suffered injuries that were not life-threatening during the confrontation.

The University of Texas at Austin campus was much calmer Thursday after 57 people were jailed and charged with criminal trespass a day earlier, when state troopers in riot gear and on horseback bulldozed into protesters. University officials pulled back barricades and allowed demonstrators onto the main square beneath the school’s iconic clock tower.

At Emory University in Atlanta, local and state police swept in to dismantle a camp. Some officers carried semiautomatic weapons, and video shows officers using a stun gun on one protester they had pinned to the ground. The university said late Thursday that objects were thrown at officers and they deployed “chemical irritants” as a crowd control measure.

Jail records showed 22 people arrested by Emory police were charged with disorderly conduct. Emory said it had been notified that 28 people were arrested, including 20 members of the university community, and some were released.

Since the Israel-Hamas war began, the U.S. Education Department has launched civil rights investigations into dozens of universities and schools in response to complaints of antisemitism or Islamophobia. Among those under investigation are many colleges facing protests, including Harvard and Columbia.

Perry reported from Meredith, New Hampshire. Contributing to this report were Associated Press journalists in various locations including Aaron Morrison, Stefanie Dazio, Kathy McCormack, Jim Vertuno, Acacia Coronado, Sudhin Thanawala, Jeff Amy, Mike Stewart, Collin Binkley, Carolyn Thompson, Jake Offenhartz and Sophia Tareen.
