	Sample Program In the first year the students are expected to take the series of courses offered by the economics department in microeconomic theory. To prepare students for the microeconomic theory sequence, students are expected to take a three week course on the basic mathematical tools of economic analysis offered by the economics department prior to their first fall term in the program. The remainder of the first year will consist of doctoral seminars in accounting and finance and a series of two math courses designed to prepare them for the econometrics sequence to be taken in their second year.    Year 1 Summer  Fall  Winter  Spring  Economics preparatory course  Economics 607  Economics 607  Economics 607  (Micro economic theory sequence)  Accounting 607  Finance 607  Accounting 607  (Doctoral seminars)  Math 561  Math 562  Finance 607  (Introduction to statistics)  The second year of coursework will consist of additional doctoral seminars in accounting and finance along with a sequence of courses in econometrics.     Year 2 Summer  Fall  Winter  Spring  Research Paper  Math 341  Economics 524  Economics 525  (Linear Algebra)  (Econometrics)  Accounting 607  Finance 607  Accounting 607    (Doctoral seminars)  Finance 671  Finance 673  Finance 607    (Theory of Finance)  (Problems in Finance)    Economics The training in economics consists of the doctoral level sequence in microeconomics (Econ 607) taken in the first year, and the graduate sequence in econometrics (Econ 524 and Econ 525). Mathematics and Statistics In addition to the short preparation course taught by the economics department in the summer prior to their first year in the program, students are expected to take the math/stat series (Math 561 and Math 562). In addition, students should take the course in matrix algebra (Math 341) prior to taking the econometrics series. Finance Accounting doctoral students are expected to take all of the finance do
