Background
- Biographical / Historical:
The Department of Economics in the IU School of Liberal Arts was formed from the merger of faculties from the Indiana University-Indianapolis Downtown Campus and the Purdue University-Indianapolis Extension upon the creation of IUPUI. During its first twenty years, the department focused on delivering quality undergraduate education to the growing number of students. The Department of Economics began to incorporate graduate work in the early 1990s with the addition of a master's degree program. In 2010, the department welcomed its first group of Ph.D. students. Thanks to its close proximity with the large medical education community of Indianapolis, the Economics Department was capable of created a Ph.D. program specializing in Health Economics.
