Nima Nikopour, CSUF economics alum
For aspiring economists seeking academic roles, the M.A. in Economics is a versatile, affordable and attainable path to doctoral programs that has led our alumni to professorial roles. Leveraging the connections and support of faculty, several alumni have also pursued doctoral degrees.
One such alum is Nima Nikopour ’22, ’24 (B.A., M.A. economics), who is pursuing a Ph.D. in economics from Emory University.
“Doctoral student life is undeniably rigorous, but it is incredibly rewarding to study the subjects I am passionate about at the highest level under experts in the field,” said Nikopour. “What makes the long hours sustainable is the perspective that every second of effort, while difficult, is a direct investment in my own skill set, which is a rare professional privilege.”
