Overview

For a full time student, the program takes 12 months to complete, and with a part-time option, it is flexible enough to meet the needs of working professionals.

The Benefits

The MAE emphasizes the application of economic theory and econometric analysis to practical issues relevant to a range of fields, including: public economics; natural resources and environment; monetary systems; business finance; international trade.

The Sobey MAE’s focus on policy issues distinguishes it from a traditional, more theoretical Master’s program in economics.

Our graduates in the Applied Economics program from Saint Mary's University are employed at all levels of government, major banks, and in commercial enterprises like Irving.

Programme Structure

Established in 1934 at Saint Mary’s University, the Sobey School of Business is Atlantic Canada’s largest and most respected business school. It’s also fully-accredited by the AACSB—a designation achieved by only 5% of business schools worldwide.

Here, you’ll embark with over 3,300 students on a fast track to your future, with small class sizes, a close-knit campus, and industry-leading faculty members. Learn more
