THE M.A. PROGRAM AND PH.D. PROGRAM

The Eitan Berglas School of Economics primarily offers an M.A. program with about 50 students per entering class, and a much smaller Ph.D. program. The graduate studies consist of core courses in Micro-Theory, Macro and Econometrics, a variety of electives in various fields, workshops, and a thesis.

The material taught in the core courses, is up-to-date, advanced and quite "heavy-duty". A number of visiting professors from leading universities in the United States and Europe also teach short courses in our program.

We have rather strict selection criteria, thus making sure that the students conform to high academic standards. We encourage the best students to do Ph.D in top universities in the U.S. We do have some scholarships, which are given mostly to second-year students on the basis of achievements in their first year.

All courses (except for those taught by visiting professors) are in Hebrew, and hence our graduate students are required to be fluent in Hebrew. Occasionally we have visiting students from the European Doctoral Program (EDP), but they are mostly interested in interacting with some of our faculty and students, participating in the Departmental Seminars (which are conducted in English), etc. For these purposes English is of course sufficient.

As of January, 2000 we have 26 Ph.D students and 200 master students.
