An Honours B.A. in Economics is the normal prerequisite for admission to the M.A. program. However, if you have a high standing in any other undergraduate discipline and also have adequate preparation in Economics and Mathematics, you may be eligible for admission. The minimum preparation is a full year of intermediate macroeconomics, microeconomics, and statistics, two semesters of introductory calculus and one semester of linear algebra.

If your education has been interrupted or if you do not have an undergraduate or graduate degree in Economics from a Canadian university, you must take the Graduate Record Examination (General Test) and arrange for your scores to be sent to us. Note that the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT)听cannot be substituted for the GRE. 苹果淫院鈥檚 institutional code is 0935. The Department of Economics鈥� code is 1801. Please visit for more information.
