IUPUI Department of Economics



Now Accepting Ph.D. Applications for Fall 2010

At its June 12, 2009 meeting the Indiana Commission for Higher Education (ICHE) approved the department’s proposal to launch a Ph.D. program with fields in Health Economics and Nonprofit/Philanthropic Economics.

The Economics Department at IUPUI is pleased to announce a new PhD in Economics. We will be accepting our first entering PhD class for Fall of 2010. Fellowship support will be offered on a competitive basis.

The program will specialize in Health Economics. We plan strong disciplinary training in micro theory, econometrics, and health economics enhanced with exposure to other related disciplines central to health and health care.

We will also offer a field specialization in the Economics of Nonprofits/Philanthropy.

We think this program fills a unique niche and we are excited to offer students interested in these two fields a special opportunity for PhD study in Economics.

Department Welcomes New Professor and Dean of Honors College

The IUPUI Department of Economics proudly announces the appointment of E. Jane Luzar as Professor of Economics. Dr. Luzar was recruited from the University of Florida to be the founding Dean of the Honors College at IUPUI. Professor Luzar was at Louisiana State University for many years before her tenure at Florida. Her research on recreation demand and nonmarket valuation of resources has appeared in important and relevant journals. An award-winning teacher, her recent forays into the scholarship of teaching have prepared her for her current challenges as Dean. We anticipate that Dr. Luzar will offer honors courses from time to time in the economics of the environment and sustainable natural resoruces development.
