About Master’s Program,
There is a wide spectrum of professional opportunities available to Economics graduates. Many pursue professional careers in government or in international organizations such as the United Nations, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Economic experts are increasingly in demand as the business world globalizes and becomes increasingly high-tech in nature.
Students with training in economics are actively recruited into the job market locally, nationally and internationally for positions related to corporate policy, business management, intellectual property, international development, international trade, marketing, price analysis, community development and resource management.
Economics M.A. students are eligible to join a co-op program and complement their study terms with paid co-op terms. This is an excellent option for those who plan to look for a job upon graduation. Experiential learning provided by co-op terms gives students hands-on experience applying theoretical concepts and applied skills learned during the course-work to a “real-world” problem.
