Economics has two streams in the graduate program: Economics and Econometrics, which places greater emphasis on theory (micro and macro), mathematics and statistical methods, and Economics and Society, which places greater emphasis on how the distribution of wealth and power affects the socioeconomic and physical environment. The graduate program in the Economics and Econometrics stream requires students to take more core courses in theory, mathematics and statistics, while the Economics and Society stream is more individually tailored to the student’s research. Applicants to the graduate program in Economics apply to one stream, and are not considered for admission to the other stream. Applicants who wish to specialize in Agricultural Economics must apply to the Economics and Econometrics stream.There are many funding opportunities:
  • Teaching/Research Assistant
  • Work Study Program
  • Master's and Doctoral Award for Indigenous Students
  • International Graduate Student Entrance Scholarship
  • International Graduate Student Student Scholarship
  • There are other funding opportunities available for international students
