The PhD in Economics at Kyungwoon University is part of the General Graduate School’s doctoral offerings, although Kyungwoon does not currently list Economics as an individual PhD department on its official graduate admissions pages — the university’s graduate catalog shows doctoral programs in areas like Police Administration, Safety & Security, and Public Health, but Economics is not explicitly listed as a standalone doctoral major within the official general graduate school structure.

If Kyungwoon University were to offer a PhD in Economics, such a program would typically be a research‑focused doctoral degree designed to develop advanced scholarly expertise in economic theory, empirical methods, and applied economic analysis. It would involve rigorous coursework in microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, and specialized fields (like international economics, development economics, or economic policy) followed by independent dissertation research that contributes original knowledge to the discipline, culminating in a doctoral thesis and defense. Admission normally requires a master’s degree in economics or a closely related field, academic transcripts, a research proposal, and faculty supervision, and a PhD prepares graduates for careers in academic research, university teaching, policy research institutes, government economic planning, and advanced analytical roles in business and finance.

Because Kyungwoon’s official graduate materials do not list Economics among current doctoral programs, it’s possible that Economics PhD study might be pursued through interdisciplinary arrangements, collaborative programs, or future program development; for exact details on whether Economics or a closely related doctoral research path is available and how to apply, you should contact Kyungwoon University’s Graduate School directly or review their most recent admissions guidelines and program listings.

NOTE: The university may have additional program-specific eligibility requirements. It is recommended to verify these on the official university website.
