Successful completion of a four-year Bachelor’s degree, or equivalent, in a relevant discipline, with a minimum average of 78%. Undergraduate coursework in econometrics, mathematical economics, advanced macroeconomics, and microeconomics is required (Brock’s equivalent to those courses are respectively ECON 3P90, 3Q91, 4P13 and 4P14; check the undergraduate calendar for a description of each courses).This typically implies that a Bachelor degree in Economics is the preferred path for admission consideration but strong applicants from other disciplines may be considered. Preference is also given to students who do not have a graduate degree. Applicants must demonstrate proficiency in English and suitability for Co-op placement, if applicable.

The Graduate Admissions Committee will review all applications and recommend admission for a limited number of suitable candidates.

Part-time study is not available. Our program starts in September of each year with a Math and Stats review course during the first 3 weeks of the Fall term.
