The Master of Economics (MEcon) prepares graduates for careers as professional economists or academic researchers, while also serving as a foundation for pursuing a PhD in Economics. This program combines coursework with a research thesis. Applicants typically need an undergraduate degree in Economics with a minimum B average in 300-level courses, including mathematical economics and econometrics. The university may consider applicants with equivalent qualifications or experience. Students can complete the MEcon through one year of full-time study or part-time equivalent, with intakes available in both first and second semesters.
