I enjoy studying EPA at OVGU ....

the courses offer a solid grounding in economics, and the faculty colloquium is a great opportunity to hear about ongoing research from visiting scholars and to discuss their work. I also really appreciate the campus atmosphere.
What I particularly appreciated about the EPA program ....

the support I received from dedicated academics. The research-oriented design of the teaching and additional offerings such as research seminars prepared me optimally for an academic career.
I did choose the EPA Study Program ...

it allows me to direct my studies to the specialization of my choosing while still providing me with the required research foundations, both in the classrooms and through initiatives like the Center of Evidence-based Policy Analysis.
