Admission Requirements

For admission to the Master of Financial Economics Program, applicants must possess a BA i.e. four-year degree from an accredited university. The program requires at least a 78% overall average in the last two full-time years of the undergraduate degree. Candidates with a 3-year general degree are not eligible.

It should be emphasized that admission to the MFE Program is highly competitive. As a result, satisfying the minimum requirements will not guarantee admission to the program. Students are encouraged to reference our Admission Requirements Checklist to determine their eligibility. All applications will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee. We do not pre-screen applicants.

International Students

International applicants often have additional questions regarding eligibility and status. We encourage students to visit our FAQ page with a particular focus on the FAQ International Students section. The required educational background for students with a degree from a non-Canadian university is the same as for students with a degree from a Canadian university. Students from non-Canadian universities must complete the GRE exam. Applicants whose first language is not English must furnish evidence of their proficiency in the use of the English language (see the formal requirements on How to Apply).
