Economics: Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Admission Requirements: Simon Fraser University's Economics PhD normally requires a master's degree in economics, with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.5; exceptionally qualified applicants with only a bachelor's degree in economics, or a master's in another discipline, may also be admitted, and strong SFU MA students may apply after two semesters. The GRE is required, and not waived, for applicants who completed their prior studies outside Canada or the United States; scores must be no more than two years old, and no minimum score is published. Non-native English speakers whose degree was not taught in English must submit TOEFL or IELTS scores no more than two years old; the page does not state numeric minimums. The program normally begins in September, with an occasional January start permitted.
