Graduate Program Requirements

General

  • Each student enrolled in the program must complete 15 credit hours of coursework over and above his or her departmental requirements. Thus, in particular, the student may not count any course both towards his or her departmental requirements and simultaneously towards the course requirement of the Center.

  • The 15 credits must be accrued from courses offered in the Center’s program of study. In exceptional cases (and only with prior approval of the head of the graduate program) the student may be allowed to include courses that are offered outside the program.

  • No more than one course taken without a numerical grade may count towards the required credits. (The student’s transcript will list the grade for such a course as “active participation.”)

The Structure of the Program:

The Graduate Program has two required courses:

  • Topics in Rationality

  • Games and The Economics of Information (Microeconomics B’)
    • This course is required of students registered in the following departments: mathematics, computer science, economics, business administration, and statistics. Students registered in other departments may register for this course. Alternatively, they may register for Game Theory: Introduction and Applications.

In addition each student must complete:

  • One course with experimental content

  • At least one course on decision making
