Get training from the experts
Our faculty members bring their real-world experiences to the classroom. Associate Professor Gabriella Bucci has consulted for the World Bank, worked for the U.S. Department of Treasury, and has published research in leading economic journals. “Economics is so linked to public policy,” she says. “This degree program is an ideal combination of economic theory, policy analysis and hands-on experience with policymakers.”
“I chose DePaul for my graduate degree because I knew the professors were great from my undergraduate experience. I have learned how to evaluate situations using solid economic frameworks and empirical strategies. Because of the small class sizes and opportunities to work with my peers and professors, I have made friends with really smart and hardworking people. Chicago is also a great place to live and build a career.”
