| Title: | THE RELEVANCE OF GRADUATE PROGRAMS IN AGRICULTURAL AND RESOURCE ECONOMICS |
| Authors: | Lass, Daniel A. |
| Issue Date: | 1997-10 |
| Abstract: | The relevance of graduate training in the Department of Resource Economics at the University of Massachusetts is investigated through a survey of graduates. The survey questionnaire and measures of relevancy are discussed. Results are presented for three cohorts: graduates currently in Ph.D. programs, M.S. graduates currently employed, and Ph.D. graduates currently employed. Results for all cohorts indicate that their graduate training is relevant to their jobs; however, all cohorts also favored increased application and reduced mathematics and theory. In addition, graduates suggested the need to bolster graduate training in economics with applied courses in business to improve competitiveness in private job markets. |
