New! Recent PhD Graduate Job Placement
Studying Economics
Â鶹AV offers both M.A. and Ph.D. programs in Economics. Between 20 and 30 students per year register for the M.A. program, and ten or so for the Ph.D. program. M.A. students take courses in microeconomic theory, macroeconomic theory, and quantitative methods, as well as optional courses drawn from several fields of study. M.A. students also do a research project. Most students are able to complete the M.A. in 12 months (September to August). Most graduates of the M.A. program work as economists in the public or private sector. Some continue to the Ph.D. program at Â鶹AV or elsewhere.
Students entering Â鶹AV as Ph.D. students normally do two years of coursework before completing their comprehensive examinations. Graduates of the Ph.D. program work in a variety of academic and non-academic positions. (See the "Alumni" section of the website for information about many of Â鶹AV's Ph.D. graduates.)
Open only to PhD level students
PhD students who have completed their first year of studies may take select courses at other Montreal universities.
All students must enroll on a full-time basis (taking at least 12 credits per term) from the start of the academic year in September.Ìý
