| Description | The MA in Economics is an intensive, 12-to-16-month course of study that prepares the student for PhD-level study in economics, or to pursue a career as an economic analyst in the public or private sector. The Department also offers a Master of Development Economics (MDE), which is a professional course of study that focuses on economic progress in poor countries and poor regions of wealthy countries such as Canada. The MDE prepares students for professional policy analysis in the public or private sectors in Canada or abroad. Finally, they also offer a PhD program intended particularly for those interested in an academic career. PhD students complete courses in micro- and macroeconomic theory, econometrics, and two fields of specialization. | | |
