Masters in Economics ?

Question

I just graduated with 3 years undergraduate degree in Math/Stats (non-honors).Now I am staying another year at my University to get second degree in Economics (non honors).

My question is - Is it possible to get into MA program in Canada with double major in Economics and Math/Stats (both non-honors). I have maintained B+ average in all Math, Stats and Economics course uptil now.

Or should I stay another 2 years and get Honors degree in Economics and then apply for MA programs ?

Any response would be appreciated ?

Answer 1

In my opinion, I think you should stay and get your honors, and then go for your MA.

You may want to consult with a school counselor on helping you research if it's possible to get an MA in Canada under your circumstances before making a final decision.

Answer 2

Sounds like you are well qualified.  An MA in Econ in the states (I got mine at a state university) is going to require 2 semesters of calculus, more preferred, and linear algebra.

You will probably be doing real analysis of multivariate cost/production curves, quite a bit of linear algebra as it relates to statistical regression analysis... stuff like that.  With a degree in Math/Stats, you should have no problem.  Especially if you are also getting a degree in Econ -- you'll know the theory and the tools to apply the theory, which is more than most students will probably have.

Answer 3

you can get an Masters in econ..

just depends on the universty reqs .. check it up with them .. a few should let you do that !!!
