The MA in Economics is a 12-month program based primarily on intensive and thought-provoking coursework. We designed the program to prepare students for employment in the public or private sector or pursue further studies in a PhD program.

Recent graduates have taken positions at the Bank of Canada, the Department of Finance, Statistics Canada, KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers, various consultancies and numerous other organizations. Those looking to pursue a PhD in economics have studied at Berkeley, Harvard, London School of Economics, Michigan, Princeton, Stanford, UCLA, Yale, and our own PhD program.

Each year we typically admit about 50 students to our program. As a result, we can offer training in a wide range of theoretical, empirical, and policy-related fields.

Core Program Structure

The MA in Economics program is capped off by an applied economics course and major paper intended to showcase students’ skills throughout the year. The following provides a brief description of the standard progression of the MA program.

Before coursework in September, students undertake an online mathematics review.

Students take core courses in microeconomics, macroeconomics, mathematics and statistics, and econometrics (ECON 500, 502, 526, and 527). This comprises 12 credits of coursework.

Students take four field courses of their choosing, comprising an additional 12 credits of coursework. These are typically 500-level economics courses.

Students enroll in ECON 594 Applied Economics (a six-credit course) and ECON 595 Major Essay (a requirement for graduation, but not worth any credits) during the summer.

ECON 594 provides students with experience in combining economic theory with econometric methods in empirical research. Each student undertakes an applied research project and writes a major paper based on that research; successful completion of the research paper constitutes ECON 595.

Upon completing satisfactory standing in 30 credits of work (and ECON 595), students earn their master's degree.

Thesis alternative

A 24-month thesis is available for students. Please consult the VSE graduate program office for more information.

Programs & Applying

The College of Graduate Studies establishes the minimum admission requirements for all applicants. Minimum admission requirements vary for students coming from a Canadian or American institution and those coming from international institutions.

Each graduate program may have additional requirements. It is recommended that all potential applicants refer to specific Graduate Degree Programs for detailed information regarding the program and specific admission requirements.

Master’s Applicants

Applicants to a master’s degree program must hold the academic equivalent of a four-year bachelor’s degree from UBC with:

• a minimum overall average in the B+ grade range (76-79% at UBC) in third-year level and above courses; or
• academic standing with at least 12 credits of third- or fourth-year courses in the A grade range (80% or higher at UBC) in the field of study; or
• applicants who have a four-year bachelor’s degree, or its academic equivalent, which does not meet the requirements stated above, but who have had significant formal training and relevant professional experience to offset such deficiencies, may be granted admission on the recommendation of the graduate program and approval of the Dean of the College of Graduate Studies.
• These are the minimum requirements for admission to the College of Graduate Studies. Individual graduate programs may have additional admission requirements. Consult the graduate program listings in the Academic Calendar to confirm the admission requirements for specific degree programs.

Doctoral Applicants

Applicants for the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) must have completed one of the following requirements:

• a master’s degree (or equivalent) from an approved institution, with clear evidence of research ability or potential and a minimum overall average in the B+ grade range (76-79% at UBC) in all graduate courses;
• a bachelor’s degree, with one year of study in a master’s program with 12 credits of first-class average, of which, normally, 9 credits must be at the 500 level or above and at least 9 credits must be of first-class standing, and clear evidence of research ability or potential. Transfer directly into a doctoral program is normally accomplished after the first year of study and will not be permitted after the completion of the second year in a master’s program; or
• in exceptional cases, applicants who hold an honours bachelor’s degree with an overall average in the A grade range and who demonstrate advanced research ability may be granted direct admission to a doctoral degree program on recommendation of the admitting graduate program and approval of the Dean of the College of Graduate Studies.

To maintain registration as a doctoral student, students entering directly from a bachelor’s degree must, during the first year of study, complete 12 credits with a first-class average, of which at least 9 credits must be at the 500 level or above and at least 9 credits must be of first-class standing.

Doctoral Degrees

An applicant may apply for admission to the degree program by reviewing application requirements on the websites of the graduate program and the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies , and completing the online application available on the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies website.

Students are normally admitted to study only in fields that are formally authorized by Senate to offer doctoral programs. All applications must be accompanied by an application fee at the time of submission. Consult the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for current information on admissions and application fees.

The number of students that can be accommodated is limited and graduate programs will accept the best qualified students as vacancies occur. Most students begin their program of study at the start of the Winter Session (the beginning of September) but other start dates may be available, depending on the specific program. Limitations on the number of students that can be accommodated require that applicants be selected well before the start date. Students are encouraged to submit applications for admission as early as possible.

Students who hold or are shortly expected to hold a doctoral degree from UBC are not normally admitted to a second doctoral degree at UBC.

Applicants for the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Doctor of Musical Arts (D.M.A.) and Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) must have completed one of the following requirements prior to admission:

• In the case of the Ph.D., a master's degree (or equivalent) from an approved institution with clear evidence of research ability or potential, or in the case of the D.M.A., a master's degree (or equivalent) from an approved institution with outstanding ability in performance or composition.
• In the case of the Ed.D., a master's degree in Education (or equivalent degree) from an approved institution.

A bachelor's degree with one year of study in a master's program with 9 credits at the 500-level or above and of first class standing. Students entering the doctoral program after partial completion of the master’s degree must, during the first two years of study at the graduate level, complete a total of 12 credits with a first-class average (of which at least 9 credits must be at the 500-level or above and at least 9 credits must be of first-class standing) to maintain registration as a doctoral student. Also:

• (for Ph.D.) clear evidence of research ability or potential;
• (for Ph.D., Elementary Education) first class standing in Teacher Training or a B.Ed.;
• (for Ed.D.) first class standing and first class standing in such prerequisite work as may have been required, and five years professional experience; or
• (for D.M.A.) outstanding ability in performance or composition.

Transfer directly into a doctoral program is normally accomplished after completion of the first year of study at the master's level and will not be permitted after completion of the second year.

• In exceptional cases, applicants who hold a bachelor's degree with an overall average in the A grade range and who demonstrate advanced research ability may be granted direct admission to a doctoral degree program on recommendation of the admitting graduate program and approval of the Dean of the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. Students entering directly from a bachelor's degree must, during the first two years of study, complete a total of 12 credits with a first class average, of which at least 9 credits must be at the 500-level or above and at least 9 credits must be of first class standing, to maintain registration as a doctoral student.

Individuals of Indigenous ancestry are encouraged to apply. Additional information for Indigenous applicants to graduate programs can be found on the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies website .

Students with Credentials from International Institutions

Applications for admission to doctoral programs at UBC are welcomed and encouraged from students who hold a credential deemed comparable to a Canadian master's degree and who demonstrate superior academic standing. Specific minimum admission requirements established by the Faculty for graduates of different countries may be found at Graduate Studies Admissions . These are minimum requirements; specific programs may have higher requirements.

English Language Proficiency Requirement

See English Language Proficiency Standards and GRE Requirements .

Conditional Admission Program

The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies may extend a conditional offer of admission to a highly-qualified graduate applicant who does not quite meet the minimum English language proficiency requirement set by the graduate program to which the student has applied.

A conditional admission allows a student to obtain a study permit (if necessary) and begin their studies in the UBC English Language Institute (ELI) or an equivalent institution approved by the Provost. Upon successful completion of the prescribed terms of study in the ELI Intensive Academic English Program (or pre-approved, equivalent alternative), the student will proceed directly into the graduate degree program.

To be eligible for the Conditional Admission Program (CAP), the applicant must:

• possess a "first-class average" (or established equivalent) in a degree deemed as an eligible basis for admission, OR have academic qualifications that would have ranked them in the top 33% of students admitted to the graduate program to which they are applying, for the year prior to the date of their application;
• have English language proficiency, demonstrated via an accepted test, that can reasonably be expected to be brought up to the standard required by the graduate program to which the student has applied by completing ELI (or accepted equivalent) training in no more than a year; and
• be recommended for the CAP by a UBC graduate program.

In recommending conditional admission, graduate programs guarantee a student admission at the date specified in the admission letter, assuming the student's successful completion of the terms of the ELI program (or approved equivalent). Students admitted via the CAP are not allowed to make academic progress toward their graduate degree before they successfully complete the English language training program and are admitted without condition to the graduate program.

Required Documentation

The following information is required for the application and admission process for the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies:

• Graduate Studies Application Form (online system).
• Application fee.
• At least two confidential reference reports. Normally these are from academic or professional referees, and speak to the applicant’s appropriateness for the graduate program. Reports must be uploaded by the referees directly to the online application system, or sent by post (must contain original signature and be received in sealed envelopes endorsed by referees).
• Transcripts/Academic Records. Upon initial application, applicants must provide copies of their academic records for all postsecondary institutions they have attended. These required records (and translations if necessary) may initially be provided as electronic copies of official documents which are uploaded by the applicant to the online application system. Some graduate programs may also require official paper documents to be submitted as part of the initial application process. Conditional admission offers may be made based on unofficial documents. However, admission offers will not be finalized and applicants will not be allowed to register in a graduate program until all required official academic records are received and validated by the University. To finalize an admission offer and allow registration, official transcripts must be received by the University for every postsecondary institution an applicant has attended, unless otherwise indicated to an individual applicant by the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. To be considered official, academic records must be received either in official university envelopes, sealed and endorsed by the issuing institution, or be sent via secure electronic delivery by the issuing institution. If transcripts are not issued in English, official academic records in original language and certified English translation are required (if originals cannot be obtained by applicant, then attested, certified copies of originals are acceptable). If the official transcript does not indicate the degree name and the degree conferral date, an official copy of the degree certificate is required.
• Evidence of adequate English proficiency where applicable (TOEFL, IELTS, or MELAB are all acceptable).
• Supplementary information as may be required by admitting graduate program (e.g. GRE, statement of intent, research proposal, etc.).

Types of Admission Offers

Admission to the Ph.D., D.M.A. or Ed.D. program will be in one of the following categories:

• Unconditional admission . Granted when the applicant meets all admission requirements and all final official documentation has been received. Applicants who have a bachelor's degree, or its academic equivalent, which does not meet the requirements stated above, but who have had significant formal training and relevant professional experience to offset such deficiencies, may be granted admission on the recommendation of the appropriate graduate program or faculty and approval of the Dean of the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies.
• Conditional admission . Contains condition(s) that must be met before an offer can be considered final. Such conditions may include the provision of official transcripts or other academic records, final documentation showing degree conferred, or completion of the terms of the Conditional Admission Program . Admission offers will not be finalized and an applicant will not be allowed to register in a graduate program until the University receives and validates the required official documentation which substantiates scanned documents previously submitted in the online system. The Letter of Admission stipulates deadlines as to when the conditions must be met. Failure to meet an admission condition by stated deadlines will normally result in an admission offer being revoked, or a student being required to withdraw from the program.

International Students

Students who are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents must apply for a study permit (student visa) to enter Canada. Applications can be made at any Canadian Consulate or High Commission.

Ph.D. in Business and Economics Overview

Relying on a balanced approach to both research and teaching, Lehigh’s Ph.D. in Business and Economics program focuses on the fields of health, labor, industrial organization, applied macroeconomics, and applied econometrics. It aims to prepare students for careers at colleges and universities, non-academic research organizations, business enterprises, and government agencies. In addition to the core requirements from a traditional program, there is increased emphasis on the application of economic theory and econometrics.

Only seven to nine students are admitted every two years to the selective program. As a result, classes are small and students are able to work closely with faculty.

Tuition & Financial Support

Financial support.

Applicants to UBC have access to a variety of funding options, including merit-based (i.e. based on your academic performance) and need-based (i.e. based on your financial situation) opportunities.

Program Funding Packages

We provide a financial package that includes tuition plus $30,000 per year for the first five years of the PhD Program.

Average Funding

• 1 student received Research Assistantships valued at $11,521.
• 1 student received Academic Assistantships valued at $2,278.
• 1 student received internal awards valued at $21,798.

Scholarships & awards (merit-based funding)

All applicants are encouraged to review the awards listing to identify potential opportunities to fund their graduate education. The database lists merit-based scholarships and awards and allows for filtering by various criteria, such as domestic vs. international or degree level.

Graduate Research Assistantships (GRA)

Many professors are able to provide Research Assistantships (GRA) from their research grants to support full-time graduate students studying under their supervision. The duties constitute part of the student's graduate degree requirements. A Graduate Research Assistantship is considered a form of fellowship for a period of graduate study and is therefore not covered by a collective agreement. Stipends vary widely, and are dependent on the field of study and the type of research grant from which the assistantship is being funded.

Graduate Teaching Assistantships (GTA)

Graduate programs may have Teaching Assistantships available for registered full-time graduate students. Full teaching assistantships involve 12 hours work per week in preparation, lecturing, or laboratory instruction although many graduate programs offer partial TA appointments at less than 12 hours per week. Teaching assistantship rates are set by collective bargaining between the University and the Teaching Assistants' Union .

Graduate Academic Assistantships (GAA)

Academic Assistantships are employment opportunities to perform work that is relevant to the university or to an individual faculty member, but not to support the student’s graduate research and thesis. Wages are considered regular earnings and when paid monthly, include vacation pay.

Financial aid (need-based funding)

Canadian and US applicants may qualify for governmental loans to finance their studies. Please review eligibility and types of loans .

All students may be able to access private sector or bank loans.

Foreign government scholarships

Many foreign governments provide support to their citizens in pursuing education abroad. International applicants should check the various governmental resources in their home country, such as the Department of Education, for available scholarships.

Working while studying

The possibility to pursue work to supplement income may depend on the demands the program has on students. It should be carefully weighed if work leads to prolonged program durations or whether work placements can be meaningfully embedded into a program.

International students enrolled as full-time students with a valid study permit can work on campus for unlimited hours and work off-campus for no more than 20 hours a week.

A good starting point to explore student jobs is the UBC Work Learn program or a Co-Op placement .

Tax credits and RRSP withdrawals

Students with taxable income in Canada may be able to claim federal or provincial tax credits.

Canadian residents with RRSP accounts may be able to use the Lifelong Learning Plan (LLP) which allows students to withdraw amounts from their registered retirement savings plan (RRSPs) to finance full-time training or education for themselves or their partner.

Please review Filing taxes in Canada on the student services website for more information.

Cost Estimator

Applicants have access to the cost estimator to develop a financial plan that takes into account various income sources and expenses.

Career Outcomes
