Applicants who have not completed a Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Econometrics, or Mathematical Economics course(s) equivalent to the intermediate level at UNBC will be required to complete theses courses as part of their graduate degree if admitted. Because admission to this program is highly competitive, strong applications are those that include the necessary academic preparation for success in the degree.

Description

Economic development remains a critical issue for more than three-quarters of the world’s population who reside in countries classified as “low income” or “middle income.” The causes and consequences of economic development remain contested issues. This academic program considers the changing global, regional and national contexts for economic development; the policy lessons that can be learned from comparative studies; and the tools required to enable development economists to contribute to the development process.
