Overview

Master of Applied Economics

The Sobey Master of Applied Economics (MAE) program provides you with the skills you need to apply the tools of economic analysis to real-world issues in both public and business sectors. 

For a full-time student, the program takes 12 months to complete, and with a part-time option, it is flexible enough to meet the needs of working professionals. 

The Sobey MAE emphasizes the application of economic theory and econometric analysis to practical issues relevant to a range of fields, including: 

Public economics; natural resources and environment; monetary systems; business finance; labour economics; and international trade.

The Sobey MAE’s focus on policy issues distinguishes it from a traditional, more theoretical master’s program in economics.  

Saint Mary's University graduates are employed at all levels of government, at major banks, and in commercial enterprises.
