What about the Economics Department

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Washington

So I’ve applied to UW, and I still haven’t decided whether I will even accept the invitation if admitted.

I have plans to go into Development Economics (particularly I’m interested in investigating global inequality and how third world economies can become more robust and thus give their societies a higher standard of life); is UW a good fit for this?

Any degree on insights would be helpful, thank you!

Yes, it is. https://econ.washington.edu/fields/development-economics

If you are admitted, perhaps you could get in touch with a member of the department to discuss your specific interests in this field.

Good luck!
