Program Description
The Master of Business Economics is an interdisciplinary program offered by the Department of Economics in the Faculty of Social Science in collaboration with the Goodman School of Business. The program combines academic learning with practical experience through two optional Co-op work terms.
The academic course work covers a broad range of areas such as economic theory, econometrics and aspects of economics and business administration including international payments, industrial organization, finance, business strategy, marketing and human resource management.
The MBE Co-op allows students to apply their knowledge to private and public business settings and to develop highly specialized professional skills. The work experience, along with valuable networking contacts, makes a difference to students when preparing to enter the competitive career market. Recent MBE students are pursuing careers with Hydro One, RBC Dexia, the Ministry of Transportation, Environment Canada, Suncor Energy, Ministry of Finance, Scotiabank, Statistics Canada, and General Motors Limited.
Admission Requirements
Successful completion of a four year Bachelor’s degree, or equivalent, in a relevant discipline, with a minimum average of B+. Applicants are strongly encouraged to have taken econometrics, mathematical economics, advanced macroeconomics and microeconomics at the undergraduate honours level, but strong applicants from other disciplines will also be considered. Applicants must demonstrate proficiency in English and suitability for Co-op placement, if applicable.
The Graduate Admissions Committee will review all applications and recommend admission for a limited number of candidates.
