Master of Arts in Economics (Co-op Optional)

Program Overview

The MA Economics Program includes two streams: (i) Research-Based Stream (RBS) and (ii) Course-Based Stream (CBS). RBS consists of eight one-term graduate courses and a Master's Report while CBS consists of 10 graduate courses, one of which must be an elective with a research essay. Applicants should declare their preferred stream at the time of application. Once in the program, students can apply for a change in their stream based on academic performance.

Co-op is optional, not specifically required for the degree. Co-op can be taken by either coursework or research-based students. The option will allow students to supplement their academic education with on-the-job learning. 

The foundations of the MA program is a core of courses in microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics. Courses in regional economic development, transportation economics, environmental economics, health economics, industrial organization, public policy and applied econometrics are regularly offered. For both the RBS and CBS there are two options in terms of the duration and content of the program: one-year program and two-year program.
