After earning his master’s degree in economics at Cal State Fullerton’s College of Business and Economics in 2017, Harrison Shieh went on to earn his doctorate in economics from UC Santa Cruz. Now, the proud business Titan is an assistant professor of economics at Vassar College, a private liberal arts college in Poughkeepsie, New York.
As an assistant professor, Shieh enjoys flexibility and opportunities for travel. This year, he has presented at conferences in California, Kansas, China and South Korea.
“I grew to appreciate high-quality teaching after going through CSUF’s economics graduate program, and that appreciation developed into a passion for teaching. I’ve also been very fortunate to research cutting-edge questions in economics,” said Shieh. “At Vassar, I integrate my research into my teaching and courses, which students find valuable since they see what economists actually do. The master’s program at CSUF solidified my passion for research, and my dissertation is the culmination of some of the work I began at Cal State Fullerton.”
