Master of Applied Economics and Policy in Windsor Canada | University of Windsor

The Master of Applied Economics and Policy (MAEP) delivers a distinctive curriculum tailored for students seeking to apply economic theories and methods to real-world challenges across diverse sectors. This program equips graduates with advanced knowledge and practical skills for implementing economic principles in policy development, effectively connecting academic concepts with real-world applications. Unlike the Master of Arts in Economics, the MAEP does not serve as a pathway to doctoral studies.

This course-focused graduate program primarily targets professionals seeking specialized economic training for government or private sector roles requiring expertise beyond undergraduate qualifications, as well as individuals looking to enhance their primary field (such as public health, natural resources, labor relations, business administration, or other disciplines) with economic knowledge. Graduates will be prepared for careers in industry, government agencies, research institutions, and international organizations.
The MAEP equips students with comprehensive training in core economic analysis tools for evaluating government policies and business initiatives. A key program focus involves training students to handle extensive datasets used by government and corporate professionals through econometric and quantitative methods.
