Overview
The Economics program of University of Victoria, British Columbia offers two Master’s degree options: thesis-based and extended essay-based.
Recognized for the quality of its teaching and research in both economics and econometrics, the department provides a learning environment that is open and friendly with small classes and an actively involved faculty. We aim to admit 15 to 20 master’s students and up to three doctoral students per year. This maintains the quality and intimacy of the program and our success in co-op placements.
The MA program, combined with the co-operative education option, will prepare you for doctoral studies and academic careers in economics or for professional research and analysis careers in both public and private sectors. We expect completion of the MA program, including fulfillment of co-op education requirements, within 7 terms (28 months) of enrollment.
