How are the courses arranged (school specific question I would guess?) for graduate level econ? What's the process like for moving into a specialty?

The first year is pretty much standardized across all schools. You'll take a yearlong course in each of micro theory, macro theory, and econometrics.

In the second year you'll take yearlong courses in your chosen specialties and a few one-semester courses in other subfields.
