Overview

The MA Economics program of University of New Brunswick 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. 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.

We generally have about 30 students in the program. Students have access to working or researching in the Policy Studies Centre under the leadership of the Vaughan Chair in Regional Economics (Dr. Herb Emery), and also the NB-IRDT (New Brunswick Institute of Research, Data and Training), headed by Dr. Ted McDonald.
