M.A. Economics

About the Program

Master's students in economics undertake a thorough review of economic theory, together with an analysis of the Canadian economy, its institutions and history, and the working of public policy. Stress is placed on the understanding and application of quantitative methods to all aspects of economics. Although the program is generally oriented towards policy problems, there is considerable opportunity for the development of specialized interests.

Academic Regulations

See the General Regulations section of this Calendar.

A grade of B- or higher must normally be received in each credit counted towards the master's degree. With respect to the required core credits in the program, ECON 5020, ECON 5021, ECON 5027, and ECON 5029, there will be no exceptions. A candidate may, with the recommendation of the Department and the approval of the Dean of the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs, be allowed a grade of C+ in up to 1.0 credit.

Admission Requirements

The normal requirement for admission to the master's program is a B.A. (Honours) (or the equivalent) in Economics, with an average grade of B+ or higher.

Applicants are expected to have had adequate preparation in microeconomic and macroeconomic theory, econometrics, and mathematics. This could be satisfied, for example, by having completed undergraduate courses in the following areas: advanced microeconomic theory, advanced macroeconomic theory, econometrics, mathematical analysis in economics, and statistical analysis in economics. Students with deficiencies in their preparation may have their program requirements extended accordingly.

The Department may require certain applicants to write the Graduate Record Examination Aptitude Test and the Advanced Test in Economics offered by the Educational Testing Service.

Qualifying Year: Applicants who lack the required undergraduate preparation may be admitted to a qualifying-year program designed to raise their standing to honours status. If successful, they may be permitted to proceed to the master's program the following year.

Refer to the General Regulations section of this Calendar for details of the regulations governing the qualifying year.

Program Requirements

All master's students in economics must fulfil the following requirements:

ECON 5020 [0.5]
Microeconomic Theory
ECON 5021 [0.5]
Macroeconomic Theory
ECON 5027 [0.5]
Econometrics I

In addition, each candidate must select and complete one of the following:

  • ECON 5029 and approved courses for 2.0 credits, 1.0 of which may be selected from among those offered in a related discipline, with approval of the Department, through the M.A. Supervisor, or
  • A thesis equivalent to 1.5 credits and approved courses for 1.0 credit.

Concentration in Financial Economics

Master's students in economics may pursue a concentration in financial economics, in which case they must fulfill the following requirements:

Guidelines for Completion of Master's Degree

Full-time master's students are expected to complete their requirements within two terms. Part-time students will take a minimum of five terms but must complete within an elapsed period of six calendar years, as set out in Section 13 of the General Regulations of this Calendar.

Internship Placement

An Internship option is available to full-time students in the M.A. program who are eligible to work in Canada. Registration in the Internship option requires departmental permission and is limited by availability of placements. Application for an internship placement will be considered after the student completes ECON 5020, ECON 5021, ECON 5027, and ECON 5029  the following courses, or after completion of 3.0 credits.

Internship placements will locate students for at least one term in the public service, the private sector, or non-governmental organizations. Students will integrate theoretical and applied economic analysis in their work experience. During their work term, students are required to register in ECON 5902 (Internship Placement), which is additional to the program requirements described above. While taking ECON 5902, students are considered to be part-time, and may register for at most 1.0 credit in total.

Ph.D. Economics

About the Program

The doctoral program is offered jointly by the Departments of Economics at Carleton University and the University of Ottawa.

The Ph.D. program stresses the application of economic theory to the analysis of Canadian economic policy and economic development. Eight areas of specialization are available for intensive study and thesis research: econometrics, economic development, economics of the environment, industrial organization, international economics, labour economics, monetary economics, and public economics. The program of courses and thesis guidance, drawing upon the faculty of the two departments, will encompass course requirements, policy-oriented workshops, comprehensive examinations, and a thesis. Students are expected to have, or to acquire, proficiency in mathematics and statistics before proceeding with the program.

Academic Regulations

See the General Regulations section of this Calendar.

Doctoral students must normally obtain a grade of B- or higher in each credit counted towards the degree.

Admission Requirements

The normal requirement for admission into the Ph.D. program is a master's degree (or the equivalent) from a recognized university with high honours standing. The Department may require certain applicants to write the Graduate Record Examination Aptitude Test and the Advanced Test in Economics offered by the Educational Testing Service.

In cases of exceptional merit, Ph.D. candidates may be accepted on a part-time basis.

Transfer from Master's to Ph.D. Program

A student who shows outstanding academic performance and who demonstrates high promise for advanced research during the master's program may, subject to meeting the requirements below, be permitted to transfer into the Ph.D. program without completing the M.A. program:

  • The student will have completed ECON 5020, ECON 5021, ECON 5027
  • The student must make formal application to the graduate studies committee.
  • Students permitted to transfer into the Ph.D. program will be required to complete the equivalent of 13.5 credits of which 6.0 or 7.0 credits will be assigned to the Ph.D. Thesis, depending on the student's background and grades at the time of the transfer.
  • Students who have taken ECON 6020 and/or ECON 6021 as part of the M.A. curriculum will be granted advanced standing in these courses.

Program Requirements

Notwithstanding additional course work that may be required by the admissions committee as a condition of entry, students admitted to the Ph.D. program are required to complete:

Students are also required to do course work in two of eight fields of specialization leading to a field comprehensive examination and the writing of a thesis.
