Please celebrate the 463 Boston University students who earned degrees in Economics <\/strong>at Commencement over the weekend. This year the program contained:<\/p>\n

17 Ph.D. recipients<\/p>\n

207 Master’s degree recipients (MA, MAPE, MAEP, MAGDE MA\/MBA, BA\/MA)<\/p>\n

256 BA recipients (including BA\/MA)<\/p>\n

This represents a total of 463 degrees!<\/b><\/p>\n

These numbers undercount the total for the year since they exclude students who graduated in January 2014 and chose not to appear at Commencement.<\/p>\n

The number of graduate degree recipients (234) remains close to the number of\u00a0 BA students (256) both of which are down from the previous year, which was itself up 10% over 2012.<\/p>\n

Last year (2013) there were 21 PhDs, 257 Master’s degree recipients, and 292 BA recipients.<\/p>\n

Altogether 23 Ph.D. students <\/b>obtained jobs this year. To see their placements visit the web site linked here.<\/p>\n

Many MA students<\/b> did well on the job market and in being accepted to Ph.D. programs. For a partial list see:
\nhttp:\/\/www.bu.edu\/econ\/2014\/05\/16\/ma-students-admitted-to-top-phd-programs\/<\/a><\/p>\n

The department’s recently redesigned website now lists 38 regular professors<\/b>, a number which is down two since 2012.

Congratulations to all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
