Considering Graduate School in Economics?
Tips and advice for your future
In January, The Econ Games Speaker series hosted Dr. Jose Fernandez. Dr. Fernandez is an associate professor of economics and chair of the economics department at the University of Louisville. If you have ever had a discussion with Dr. Fernandez, then you know that he truly loves to help.
His talk titled “Graduate School for Economics Majors” was helpful to my students. Below is the recording of the conversation. In it he discusses
How he switched from med school to economics
What he researches and why it is personal
Paths for economics majors after undergraduate education
Tips to applying and surviving a Ph.D. program
This is a must watch for anyone interested in economics and graduate education.
