lindseybuck95 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Hi everyone, I recently started a PhD program that offers a couple fields, one of them being macroeconomics and money, which I love. However; they lost a big faculty member this semester and they say they don’t have enough interest now so they are going to stop offering the field. What would you suggest I do in this situation, given it was the field I was hoping to specialize in?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutonic Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Almost all schools offer at least one macro field course. Given that you're in your first year, you shouldn't worry too much about it. Worst case scenario, you can always defer some of your field requirements to 3rd year, in the event it still isn't offered next year. Highly unlikely they'd go 3 years without offering macro field courses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
startz Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Go ask the department what plans are for macro in the future. You might also ask the faculty member who is leaving for advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
