Graduate degrees in Economics (MA and PhD) and Pre-Masters program
The department of Economics is pleased to offer a Master of Arts (MA) and a Doctor of Philosphy (PhD). Our students pursue studies in several economic fields, including applied microeconomics (e.g. labour, health), econometrics, development economics and heterodox economics. We also offer agricultural economics at the PhD level in conjunction with the department of Agricultural Economics.
The department of Economics also offers a Pre-Master’s (Pre-MA) program. This is a one-year intensive program to prepare students who require extra training to prepare for the MA program. The Pre-MA is suited to students who have excellent marks but who have not taken courses required for an MA in Economics.
