Overview

Master of Arts in Business Economics

Completion of the Master of Arts in Business Economics (MABE) program at Wilfrid Laurier University will put you on track for a career as a professional economist in the private or public sector. 

The program's strength is the combination of business economics with training in economic theory, quantitative methods, and applied research

The structure of the program ensures flexibility in your education, allowing you to cater your education to your career aspirations by taking economics courses, MBA electives, or courses from Laurier’s Master in International Public Policy at the Balsillie School of International Affairs.

The MABE is a full-time program and is normally completed in 12 months, with an additional four to eight months for those accepted into the co-op option.

In your final term, you will complete a major research paper related to one or more of your courses or your work term experience.
