Graduate
We offer highly-ranked M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Agricultural, Food, and Resource Economics, as well as dual degree options.
Ph.D. students receive advanced training in microeconomic theory and econometric methods, and select one of three major fields in:
Students with an interest in regional economics and state and local government policy select a major field based on their area of specific interest.
Masters students study courses in these same areas, but do not select a specific major field, so the M.S. program has additional flexibility.
For a full list of graduate course offerings, see the MSU Schedule of Courses.
AFRE/MSU's graduate preparation enables students to investigate a wide range of issues affecting not only the domestic and international producers, processors, and marketers of agricultural and natural resource products, but also the rural and urban populations who depend on these products and on broader environmental services.
All AFRE graduate degree programs (M.S., Ph.D., and dual major) are STEM-designated degree programs (CIP code 45.0603).
